UK auction house Coys' bid to move classic car sales into the digital age by embracing social networks has paid off, to the tune of US$1.01mil (RM4.24mil). 

That's how much one classic car fan has paid, via social media platform Vero, to take ownership of a pristine 1964 Aston Martin DB5. What's more, the final transaction for £825,000 (US$1.01mil or RM4.24mil) was made using Apple Pay – in itself a potential world first.
