Classic car insurance buyers can see Bond movie motor in the UK

An upcoming event will give vintage car insurance seekers the chance to feast their eyes on an Aston Martin DB5 FMP 7B – the motor used in the James Bond films Goldfinger and Thunderball.

It will take pride of place at Stoke Park Club, where the Midsummer Classic spectacle is due to be held on June 26th.

The motor has been in the US since its star role in the movies and will be flogged as part of an RM Auctions sale.

Max Girardo, managing director of RM Europe, commented: "Over forty-five years ago, cinema goers fell in love with its stunning looks and amazing gadgets - and now a whole new generation can marvel at it once again."

Moreover, Stoke Park was the place where Sean Connery drove the vehicle as part of the Goldfinger film.

Among the models recently sold by the auctioneers includes a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO.
