Bond’s Aston Martin DB10 Sold For £2.4 Million, And It’s Not Even Road Legal
We were expecting James Bond’s very own Aston Martin DB10 to sell for a rather healthy figure, given that the auction estimate was “over” £1 million. However, when the car went under the hammer at a special Spectre-themed auction at Christie’s in London yesterday, it went for rather a lot more than £1 million. How much exactly? £2,434,500…
This is despite the fact that it isn’t actually road legal, as it is “not homologated, certified or approved for use on any public roads and has not undergone the testing processes used for production cars.” It’s a pretty special thing though, given that it’s one of only 10 ever made, one of only two that weren’t modified for filming, and the only car out of the unmodified two that’ll ever be sold to the public.
In total, yesterday’s auction raised £2,785,500 for humanitarian aid organisation Médecins Sans Frontières.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.
Comments
does it come with a license to kill?
Couldn’t you classify it as a kit car and drive it?
Finally. Modern art is heading in the right direction.
Plot twist: the person who bought it is James Bond
