[Healeys] The Bond car

[Bert Van Brande]

Different "Bond" car, the 64 Aston-Martin DB5 with 007 movie background and parafernalia sold yesterday at RM auction in London for 4.1 Million USD (4.6M total) to a ... US mortgage banker. (refrained myself from further remarks)

BTW, the 100m sold for 50,400 GBP and a BN2 with "stylish" upgrades sold for 42,600 GBP.   (+/- 90K and 76K USD with auction fees)
