It provided the headline lot of a major single owner collection of Victorian era carriages and coaches, selling to a northeast Asian buyer.
A spokesperson for the auction house told the Oxford Mail: "We were expecting an awful lot of people and they all turned up so it was a busy auction room. It really was the talking point of the carriage world.
"The carriage was fastidiously restored, it was just a fantastic item."
