Aston Martin Lagonda (AML) teamed up with EON Productions and Sky to celebrate Global James Bond Day on Friday 5 October.
Aston Martin cars are driven by James Bond in eleven of the 007 films; Goldfinger (1964), Thunderball (1965), On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969), The Living Daylights (1971), GoldenEye (1995), Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), Die Another Day (2002), Casino Royale (2006), Quantum of Solace (2008), Skyfall (2012) and Spectre (2015).
Throughout the day, four iconic Aston Martins from the 007 films, the DB10, V8 Vantage, DB5 and DBS drove through central London passing major landmarks and James Bond film locations.
The ‘Bond in Motion’ exhibition at the London Film Museum was open and the DBS from Casino Royale (2006) was parked outside. Inside was the largest official collection of original James Bond vehicles.
Aston Martin Vice-President and Chief Marketing Officer, Simon Sproule said: “The connection between James Bond and Aston Martin reaches back through the decades so we are delighted to be supporting Global James Bond Day 2018. London is the home of 007 and fans should be on the lookout for some of the most exciting cars used by James Bond this Friday 5th October.”
