If you are a James Bond fan, then you probably heard recently that one of the Aston Martin DB5s used in No Time To Die Was going to auction. Along with a whole load of other memorabilia from the film franchise, a massive £6 million was raised at the auction for a number of charities.
The DB5 actually sold for a little under £3 million. The estimated sale price before the auction was between £1.5 and £2 million so it proved to be a very popular collector’s piece.
The auction marked sixty years of James Bond so it was the perfect place for anyone looking to add some rare items to their collection. The purpose-built stunt car was the main event of the evening and raised almost half of the total funds from the auction.
A telephone bidder was the lucky winner of James Bond’s very own Aston Martin DB5. We were massively excited to see this one-of-a-kind car go up for sale in the first place, so we can only imagine how excited the winning bidder must have been to learn it now belongs to them.
We have restored and worked on several DB5s in our Suffolk workshop (like the one in the photo below). They may not have been driven by James Bond but, as far as cool cars go, every DB5 is a winner for us.
