Biggest Prop I Ever Purchased

Well, this has been a bit of a fantasy for me and other fantasies come true. Although the Vantage never shows up in any of the Bond films I still feel Aston Martin’s in general connect well with Bond.

    Hey man, that's as Bond as it gets! I love the Vantage. Great choice. Owning an Aston is every Bond fans dream. It's exciting watching that dream come true for you. It also brings those of us working towards that dream some hope. Enjoy it it good health my friend.

    All the Best,

    Prop? Prop?! A Homer is a prop. A Moonraker pew-pew laser is a prop. A set of the CR-06 Casino plaques is a prop.

    That is an Aston Martin. Ie the closest thing to Heaven on Earth (DB11 excepted) four wheels.
    Congratulations, its beautiful. The fact its a Vantage is the cherry on the angel cake.
    This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

    I just started thinking... So this is why David sold off some of his collection a while back. Saving those pennies and making sacrifices for this little purchase ;) Man I really am stoke for you.

    Technically , the DB10 was a vantage under the hood :) so you could still argue that the vantage did make an unofficial appearance in a Bond film.

    Congrats again Dave {[] You continue to inspire many of us and effective today, I made a commitment to work extra hard so that I can get my own when I turn 50 :)

    Enjoy it my friend ;)

    Congratulations David, I was actually wondering many times if you will ever buy an Aston or was that maybe too much. But it seems like it really is... a Bond Lifestyle :)) Many happy miles, looking forward to some track-day videos maybe? -{

    Congrats David
    Welcome to the club!
    Yours is virtually identical to my first... 07 v8v in Tungsten with obsidian and silver stitch..... Bought it at 12 months old and loved every minute of daily use for 3 years.
    Such a beautiful design... Uncluttered and timeless.
    But its a slippery slope you have set out on 8-)

    Then I got this

    Then this

    Congrats again, have you played the Bond theme yet whilst driving?

    Very nice! Congratulations she is beautiful and I am sure goes like a rocket!

    I have also promised myself I will one day progress my Aston passion from tracks days to everyday.

    Saw a nice DB9 the other day in Casino grey I think it is - might just go back and take a closer look now :D (not matter how hard I try could never justify a DBS at those prices)

    Enjoy I know you will!

    Cheers :007)
