Top 10 Bond cars - Times Online Surely there’s no competition for the Aston Martin DB5? Fast cars and improbable chases have been key ingredients in the James Bond films since the series began in 1962. From modest beginnings in Dr No, when 007 outran his pursuers in a rented Sunbeam Alpine, the Bond car has grown [...]

Ok, so I'm wanting to do a James Bond style photoshoot for my magazine, An Occasional Man, and I'm hoping some vintage car enthusiast has a silver Aston Martin DB5 that they'd be willing to have appea...

It would seem that the United Kingdom’s Prince Charles was worried about the environmental impact of his Aston Martin DB5 and decided that he wanted to fuel it with bioethanol. Aston Martin got word of it and took a little preemptive action; they called a company could Green Fuels and the rest, as they say, [...]

Heroes are only as good as their rides. Think of James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 (ejector seat!). Wonder Woman's invisible jet (stealth!). Roy Rogers' Trigger (skinned!).

Frankly, I'm delighted by the enthusiasm on display in today's Fantasy Garage . Certain cars are simply that good. About a decade back I was given a book about Aston Martin DB4/5s by a pistonhead boss. It wasn't a raise, but I was dumb young enough to still be thrilled.

Chris Gilmour, a British artist who lives in Padua, modelled his life-size cardboard DB5 on the one driven by Sean Connery in Goldfinger. It has a “bullet-proof” shield, machine guns, ejector seat and revolving blades that pop out of the hub caps to shred rivals’ tyres. Mr Gilmour, who finds...

Being a Beatles, James Bond and a car-nut the following item was bound to catch my attention.

The car was built in 1964 and delivered to then-Beatle [...]
