Hirst's Audi A1 sold for £350k at charity auction...



Audi A1 with a Damian Hirst paint job goes for £350,000 at a charity auction.

All the A-list stars present at a glitzy charity auction were upstaged by a unique take on one of the newest Audi cars, the manufacturer claims.

Sir Elton John's White Tie & Tiara Ball saw close to 700 VIP guests from around the world descend on his private home in Windsor, to provide support for his AIDS Foundation.

Yet Audi claims the star of the show was one of its A1 models, which had been given a special paint job by acclaimed British Artists Damian Hirst.

The hatchback, which will not be available to UK customers until November, was daubed with paint in Hirst's particular style, the final result being a vibrant work of automotive art which was bought for a "staggering" £350,000.
