I would definitely wait until the film comes out before you sell, as the price will indeed rocket. I wouldn't be totally surprised to see a DB10 legally on the road in some way shape or form in the future, so there's your buyer. Either that or you sell to Aston Martin (but I guess you've already thought of that).
I can't really blame you for posting the plate on here for sale, but I would doubt any collector would be either willing or able to match the price you're hoping for..
... or better to make a quick buck without running into the risk (and it'll happen very likely) that they will photoshop the number plate for the finished movie :v
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
I've got this for sale. Oh cool, how much is it?
Not saying.

Sorry that I couldn't be arsed to play your game, I only wanted to know whether what you were wanting for it was within what I would consider. That's how a sale works isn't it?
Like I said to you via pm, good luck with the sale. There's no malice or hostility intended.

This is what I'm thinking will happen. This is the kind of plate car companies use on photos in advertisements. Does anyone know how many DB10 models are being used for filming? There have to be multiples, and do they all have the same plate? I don't know how this stuff works legally and for filming.
Usually filming on public roads will be done on a closed section, so there's no need to actually have any plate on the vehicles, they're simply there to make the shot more realistic. For instance when filming the 'get us back to base' dash to vauxhall cross in SF, the jaguar was filmed on embankment which was closed to the public. All the other vehicles were film cars.
There will be multiple cars used for filming, for continuity's sake they'll all have the same plates on.
The one thing that does add fuel to the 'photoshopped out in post' theory is that the pic above shows the DB10 sporting a white plate on it's arse. Rear plates in the UK are yellow, and they usually have the dealer's details at the top or bottom edge of the plate.
Make of that what you will. Hopefully me being factual won't be mistaken for being arsey or hostile. 8-)

Having recently sold a fairly decent Aston / Bond plate ( A007 AML ) they are only worth what someone is willing to pay, which tends to be less than you hope, and I would say, given no DB10's will make it on to the road
I had my plate on my DBS and eventually thought it didn't sit well even on that, and it was Casino Royale grey too ! Much happier with J700 MWR (007 in your rear view mirror)...
Good luck with the sale though, whenever you decide to sell !!!
1. CR. 2. TSWLM. 3. LTK. 4. GF. 5. SF.
Or maybe even better - in the end they will decide that the Aston is ugly so they will cut out the whole chase sequance and put in a 20 minute Monica Bellucci love scene instead. The plate will be absolutely useless!

Well, there are at least 5 of the 10 DB10s made being used for filming. Don't know what plates they are wearing though. It does seem odd that the one we've seen has a white plate on the back instead of yellow.
Whatever. Looking at the DVLA website, similar DB10 plates can be had for £250. If that's what the OP paid, it seems like an excellent gamble and good find!! I think your best option is to hold onto it until November. Good luck.
Thank you for the very informative response.
The number plates on a GB registered vehicle should have a white plate on the front and yellow plate on the back for it to be road legal. Can't remember the cut off year, but older cars can have the original black with white / silver letters / numerals for both plates, i.e. the Goldfinger / Goldeneye / CR / SF DB5's.
The interesting thing here is they have put a white plate on the on the rear of the car with a GB registration. Granted rear white plates might be legal on the continent, but not if its a GB registration. Plus where is the country designation on the car? There should be a GB or other two letter country designation on the plate or car body to show what country the car is registered to, i.e. the GB sticker on the rear of the Goldfinger DB5.
The plate on this DB10 seems to be playing up to making the car iconic and unique, which is what SM wants for his 'new Bond' legacy, having 'killed' the DB5 in SF. As for the plate colour, I'm guessing they didn't want a plate on the front ruining the look of the low grill and someone probably thought the White plate on the back looked better with the colour of the car. As for the GB sticker, I guess they either forgot or didn't like the idea of that either. But so much for realism and accuracy...
I thought the same thing; the back plate is likely white because it's easier to read on-screen or believed to be more visually appealing.
Quantum of Solace DBS , Italy. White plate
The issue here is finding someone with a 2010> car to put the reg on, because it can only stay off of a vehicle as a cherished transfer for about 12 months I believe.
JG007, my advice would be hang on to it if you can and then enter it in the 2016 Bonhams Aston Martin Works auction, after the film has been screened. The buyers there drop serious money on AM stuff, especially if it has a Bond connection. So find a little 2010> runaround and slap that plate on it. Just don't write it off in an accident, because you can then end up loosing the registration number with the car!
It's an Italian plate.... and from the details on it, the car was registered in Modena, which is where AM had a dealership.
The conflict and curious point to ponder is the plate on the DB10 is a UK format plate but it's white on the back.
In the UK, numberplates must be displayed on both front and rear of the vehicle. Front plates white, rear yellow.
When driving on the continent a UK register vehicle must display either a GB bar on the plates AND a GB sticker on the rear of the vehicle, or display an EU flag on the plate.
A UK format plate in white on the rear of a car makes no sense at all. Obviously not your fault but it leaves it very open to suggestions as to what's going on with the DB10's plates.

Your correct if the car is only driven in the UK. However, a car with a British registration number, which that is, to be driven within the EUropean Union, i.e. Italy, is legally required to have the two letter country of registration designation either on the plate with the yucky EU blue and stars or in the form of a sticker elsewhere on the rear of the vehicle.
Knowledge of traffic law is part of my job description, even if I haven't stuck someone on in a while!!
I thank you -{

Hmmmm, not sure about that. I have plates with none of that info on and my AM passes its MOT just fine.
When I bought my jag it had cracks you could stick your credit card in in the tyres on both tread and sidewalls, the brakes were shot and it smoked like dot cotton.
Guess what, the dealer magically made it pass as well.....
People do break the rules ya know.
