One of the world’s most famous James Bond cars - the specially equipped Aston Martin first driven by Sean Connery in ‘Goldfinger’ – was to be auctioned off in London on Wednesday evening, and it is likely to fetch one of the highest prices ever paid for an automobile.
The unique car, which also has rotating licence plates and other spy gear, is expected to go for more than £3.5 million ($5.5m).
“This is the only genuine, 007 James Bond car,” said Mick Walsh, Editor-in-Chief of Classic and Sports Car Magazine. “You know the reputation of James Bond. The bidding could go mad.”
He said the fact the iconic Aston Martin has never been auctioned before means it will have tremendous appeal to collectors.
