Bond's Aston Martin goes on show
30th July 2010
An Aston Martin driven by Sir Sean Connery in two James Bond films has returned to London ahead of it being sold at auction.
With the silver DB5 expected to sell for over £3m in October, the lucky buyer might struggle to find a cheap car insurance deal.
The car, which appeared in Goldfinger and Thunderball, was on show at the London Hilton on Park Lane, where it was used in a photo shoot in 1969 by its owner American broadcasting boss Jerry Lee.
The 1964 car is being sold at Battersea Evolution in London by RM Auctions, together with Sotheby's.
Mr Lee bought the car for 12,000 US dollars in 1969 and hopes the sale will raise money for his charitable foundation.
