Aston Martins feature in James Bond Day

Geoff Dobson · 0 comments

Global James Bond Day celebrations on October 5 include a London display of seven Aston Martin cars like those used in the 007 films.

Four of the cars – the DB10, V8 Vantage, DB5 and DBS – will drive through central London passing major landmarks and James Bond film locations.

London visitors can also check out the Die Another Day (2002) Vanquish with bonnet mounted guns at Aston Martin Park Lane or the Aston Martin Works’ heritage showroom on Dover Street where the Quantum of Solace (2008) DBS is based.

There’s also the ‘Bond in Motion’ exhibition at the London Film Museum with the DBS from Casino Royale (2006) parked outside. Inside is the largest official collection of original James Bond vehicles.

Aston Martin cars are driven by James Bond in eleven of the 007 films from Goldfinger (1964) to Spectre (2015).

“The connection between James Bond and Aston Martin reaches back through the decades so we are delighted to be supporting Global James Bond Day 2018,” Aston Martin vice-president and chief marketing officer Simon Sproule says.

“London is the home of 007 and fans should be on the lookout for some of the most exciting cars used by James Bond this Friday.”

Aston Martin Lagonda (AML) has teamed up with EON Productions and Sky to celebrate the day by launching a prize draw for fans to win a wide screen television and Sky Q package.
