Car Involved In 84 Deaths Sold At World Record

A car involved in motor sport's worst ever accident, killing 84 people, has sold for a world record of $1,323,000 (£843,000) at a British auction  in Weybridge on Thursday
The car is sold to a private owner after being kept in a garage for the past 42 years in the north of England.
"This is a fantastic result and a world record for any car of this make at auction," said a spokesman for the auctioneer Bonhams.
"The auction went on for about 10 minutes and there was a tense, excited and hushed atmosphere in the room as four bidders competed for the car.
"We had bidders in the room and over the phone, but the car finally went to a private buyer who was in the room.''
The car, which was driven by Englishman Lance Macklin, was hit by a Mercedes-Benz, traveling at 150mph, in the 1955 Le Mans disaster. The crash caused large parts of Mercedes-Benz debris to fly into the crowd sparking several fires.
 The driver (Pierre Levegh) was killed, as were 83 spectators while 120 other people injured.
