Bonhams sells a pair of ancient chariot wheels for a whopping £19,200...

These Chariot wheels aren't quite what you'd expect; they sold in a recent Bonhams antiquities sale for £19,200, but they are rather old, running-in at about 4000 years of age.

The saleroom notice attached to this lot read:'It has been suggested that these wheels are Elamite, circa late 2nd millennium BC. A similar wheel from Choqa Zanbil can be seen in the National Museum of Iran, Tehran.'
