Bond's AM Vanquish auctioned off - Aug06
James Bond's Aston Martin Vanquish from the 2002 film Die Another Day was auctioned away at Bonham's begining August. The winning bid was £144,500
Looking at the engine, this is no real Vanquish - The Vanquish bodyshells were fitted with 300 bhp Ford Boss 302 V8's mounted as far back in the chassis as possible. This allowed sufficient room for the fitting of a front differential and drive shafts from the Ford Explorer, plus space for weaponry behind the grille. The 120 mph Aston/Ford performance 4WD hybrids were also fitted with roll cages for safety reasons.

Wow. that surely is a collectors item. The new owner of that car surely is lucky. Wish I have the bucks to have one. For now all I have is a blog to dream on Bond's Aston Martin
