MI6 have spotted James Bond 007 in his old favorite: the Aston Martin DB5. The classic car was first seen on screen in Goldfinger and Thunderball and most recently seen in Casino Royale when the current 007, Daniel Craig, won the keys to the prized motor from Dimitrios.
According to the website: “Shot at night, the scene is reminiscent of Goldfinger, with Bond driving the DB5 down narrow streets, zipping past warehouses and ducking under the arches of a railway line. For the 1964 film, the chase scene at Auric Enterprises was actually shot at Pinewood Studios. Filming will continue in Deptford and New Cross in London. In the movie, the DB5 action will feature in scene #134.”
About Skyfall – James Bond 23 (2012)
The new Bond movie will star Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Berenice Marlohe, Albert Finney and Judi Dench, produced by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. The 007 screenplay will be written by regular James Bond scribes Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, working with John Logan (Gladiator & The Last Samurai). Director of American Beauty and Road To Perdition, Sam Mendes will be directing the new James Bond movie. MGM and Sony Pictures Entertainment in a joint statement on 2nd June 2011 announced that “Bond 23″ will go on release in the UK on Friday, 26th October, 2012 and in the USA on 9th November 2012. The first major announcement from EON Productions and Sony Pictures came on 3rd November 2011 in London when the principle cast was announced, along with a rough plot line. In Skyfall, Bond’s loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost.

That the good news but this will be off Duty car. But what about a car for his mission. I hope a new Aston Martin either V12 Zagato or V12 Virage.

I was driving through New Cross early on Saturday morning to view a Silver Birch DB5 being towed on a trailer. Unusual enough, but I got quite excited when I could see that the digits on the reg were BMT2**** leading me to speculate that it was a Bond car, probably on it’s way into London for a show. Then I saw this story and it all made sense. I would possibly expect the DB5 to get trashed in the film as one minute later a burnt out shell of a DB5 was being towed in a follow up car. Again this seemed unusual at the time but now makes sense.

I’m so excited of the DB5 returning to the big screen – in 2012! But can they use the DBS because Bond’s car (in 2006) was a DBS. Can the DB5 & DBS return?

The reason DB5 went up in flames is this:
Daniel Craig inadvertently used the “mobile phone” in the driver’s side door while Judy Dench was pouring petrol from a jerrycan into the DB5. They were waiting at the side of the road for the henchpersons in their Morris Monors to catch up to continue the chase
sequence.

Bond would look better on a bold platinum silver bugatti veyron car instead of an Aston Martin.
