| Aston Martin DB5 (for 007, Goldeneye) (1995 / 2006) |
 |
 |
In 1995, the first James Bond film for six years , Goldeneye began dramatically with Pierce Brosnan driving a DB5 in a car chase with a Ferrari F355. A total of three cars were needed for filming, one in perfect condition for close up and interior shots (DB5/2175/R, see right), and two more 'stunt cars' for the driving sequences in the hills above Monte Carlo (DB5/1484/R and DB5/1885/R). The stunt cars were purchased in relatively poor shape prior to filming and underwent a very quick restoration at the AM dealer, Stratton Motor Company, a little outside Norwich. |

| When James Bond was reunited with the DB5, it was given the registration number, BMT214A, as if had come from the same fleet as the first car. This was, I believe that BMT216A couldn't be used for legal reasons although it was used on the BMW 750i in 'Tomorrow Never Dies'. The above photographs of one of the 1995 stunt cars were taken during the travelling 007 exhibition whilst it was visiting the National Museum of Film, Photography and Television in Bradford during Summer 2002. | ||
