Yeah, right, as if !

Although, to be fair, the DB5 he had in TB didn't get smashed. And neither were the ones in GE and TND.

The Vanquish only lost its front windshield. Other than that, it was fine.

Saw a Vanquish Zagato today driving up Portland Place. Very nice.

QBranch

The new DBS is very nice, but IMO they peaked design-wise with the one from CR.

Getafix

I agree on that.

But the Zagato is cool.

QBranch

The one that looks like somebody's been jumping up and down on the roof? Think I'll pass on that. Although I kinda like how the grille extends around the fog lamps.

Yep. It should debut in Bond 25 as Daniel Craig last Bond mobile.

This just in,very very interesting :

Legendary 1964 Aston Martin driven by Sean Connery in Goldfinger 'is found in the Middle East' more than 20 years after it was stolen - and could now be worth up to £10million

Legendary Aston Martin driven by James Bond in Goldfinger could have been found more than twenty years after it was stolen from a Florida airport.

The 1964 DB5 - which was equipped with machine guns and tyre-bursting blades for Sean Connery's 007 - could have been found in the Middle East, according to a tip given to investigators.

It was stolen in 1997 while its owner, who bought it in 1986 for $250,000, had it in an airport hangar in Boca Raton.



Now Art Recovery International, which was hired by an insurance company to find the DB5, could be on the verge of retrieving the car, The Sunday Telegraph reports.

Christopher Marinello, Art Recovery's chief executive, said: 'I have been given a specific tip, but we are working on it.

'We want to reach out to [the] collector car community and [a] vast array of mechanics to let them know we are very serious about recovering it.'

It is not known where specifically in the Middle East the car is believed to be stored.

A six-figure cash reward is being offered for information that leads to its safe return.

Marinello added: 'As there are many Aston Martins, it is very important that we get a shot of the chassis number, dp/216/1. This is what we are looking for, as it is very specific to the vehicle.'

He said this is necessary because the car in the Middle East could be a 'mere lookalike' rather than the real thing.

It is estimated that the car - known as the 'most famous in the world' after the Bond classic hit cinemas in 1964 - could now be worth as much as £10 million.

It good to know it is recovered although it should been earlier but still justice is to be serve of thieves who stole it.

Once again, Aston Martin has turned its hand to a new form of transport, this time the British supercar firm looking to the skies.

We’ve already seen Aston Martin collaborate with various specialists to create a small submarine called Project Neptune, and the £1 million plus AM37 powerboat. This new project – the Aston Martin Vision Volante Concept – sees Aston team up with Cranfield University and Rolls-Royce, to create ‘a luxury concept aircraft with vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capabilities.’

It lost a passenger seat too. Bond used the ejector seat to flip the car back up when it was sliding upside down on the ice.

@ClarkDevlin, I know you love the DB4 Zagato GT, which is why you'll go out and buy one of these.

What a great looking car - prettier than the new cars they make, IMO.

You might not be able to afford a whole Aston Martin, but you might soon be able to afford a part of Aston Martin...
