Key Highlights

• Aston Martin Vanquish from Die Another Day to be auctioned in October.

• Features a V-12 engine, capable of reaching 321 km/h.

• Part of a limited collection, with only 37,800 miles on the odometer.

• Known for its connection to Pierce Brosnan's Bond and used in press photoshoots.

• The last hand-built grand tourer by Aston Martin, lacking the film’s fictional gadgets.

James Bond movie cars are highly sought after, and now there's a rare chance to bid on an Aston Martin Vanquish from "Die Another Day" featured alongside Bond.

Bond fans will remember the Aston Martin Vanquish's key role in "Die Another Day," a film known for its early 2000s tech vibe and Brosnan-era style. With Madonna's quirky theme song, it's seen as a unique entry in the series.

James McWilliam, H&H Classics Sales Manager, highlighted the October auction as a rare chance to own a piece of automotive and film history with the Aston Martin Vanquish. This car, a predecessor to the DBS, was featured at Pinewood Studios with Pierce Brosnan and used for press purposes.

It stands out with its aluminum center console, Charcoal leather interior, and Tungsten Silver paint, matching the cars from the Bond films. Powered by a V-12 engine, it can reach 321 km/h, and with only 37,800 miles on it, it's been a prized part of its owner's collection for over 20 years.

Apart from its link to Pierce Brosnan and James Bond, the Vanquish is a remarkable example of Aston Martin’s last hand-built grand tourer. Unlike its movie version, it doesn’t have hidden gadgets like missiles or shotguns. The Vanquish also appeared in other media, including the James Bond video game Nightfire.

Verdict

The upcoming auction of the Aston Martin Vanquish from Die Another Day offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of James Bond and automotive history. With its iconic design and V-12 engine, this hand-built grand tourer, though missing the movie's gadgets, remains a highly coveted collector's item due to its Bond legacy and limited use over the years.
