HISTORY + PRICE50th Anniversary Collection · 007 SpyCarA group of private collectors came together to create the 007SpyCar as a tribute to the 50 years of James Bond, which ultimately created the 50th anniversary collection.
In their decision making, the Aston Martin used in the movie “Die Another Day” was their first choice.
They soon realized that if they wanted to add all the James Bond gadgets, this would not be possible. Like MGM and Eon Productions, yes the Aston Martin looks were impressive, but was not a realistic choice. They used the Aston Martin body but used all Ford running gear throughout the car. This allowed them to have more reliability on the ice fields and it gave them the room needed to add all the James Bond features.
Because of the unique relationship between Ford and Aston Martin, the private collectors decision was easy, use a Ford platform and an Aston Martin body. With Ford also celebrating its 50th anniversary of the Mustang and Aston Martin’s 50 year relationship with James Bond and of course the 50 year James Bond anniversary, this is how the 50th anniversary collection was named.
A little history…Ford acquires 96% of Aston Martin in 1994, at which point, Ford begins to invest in the manufacturing of its newest venture, first by opening 2 new factories, one in Bloxam in 1994, and another in Gaydon in 2003. Ford ramps up the efficiency of Aston Martin, as well as produced some of Aston Martin’s most successful cars to date. Such as, the DB7, DB9, their smaller car the Vantage, of course the Vanquish and the DBS, which was featured in the movies “Casino Royal” and “Quantum of Solace”.
As mentioned in a press release from Ford, “Ford vehicles have been featured in James Bond films more than any other auto makers, making the association the longest in cinematic history”. So, when the script for the James Bond film, “Die Another Day”, MGM pictures and Eon productions called on its long time association with Ford to outfit these characters with the right vehicles. Once again, Ford’s crown jewel brand, Aston Martin, is cast.
The James Bond character Pierce Brosnan personally signed a photo that was inlayed into a stunning framed poster. This car also comes with a numbered plaque personally signed by all the people involved in the build of the 007 Spy Car.
This car came fully loaded with all the James Bond special features including Rockets and machine guns that come out of the front grill, two Cannons that come out of retractable hood grills, an in-dash bar that opens to reveal a chilled bottle of Dom Perignon with two Champaign glasses and let’s not forget to mention a rear revolving licence plate that hold two personalized licence plates. There are two options for controlling these features, one is a secret panel hidden in the dash, and the second is a handheld remote for controlling them outside of the car.
The 007 Spy Car required over 45, 000 hours in R&D and over 2, 500 hours per car to manufacture.
