Grit And Brit: James Bond And Classic Aston V8 Vantage Show Up In London

BY Brad Anderson | Posted on

Filming for the latest 007 movie, aka Bond 25 (its working title), recently moved from Norway to London where a series of scenes were shot.

Daniel Craig will return to his role as James Bond and, in London, was pictured and filmed with a classic Aston Martin V8 Vantage.

The classic Aston was first featured in The Living Daylights starring Timothy Dalton, and that car featured the same B549 WUU license plate as the one from Bond 25. Whether or not we are looking at the exact same car, however, is unknown.

It will be nice to see such an icon get a starring role in the latest Bond film, but the truth is we are more intrigued by the Aston Martin Valhalla hypercar set to make its movie debut in the same flick.

A couple of weeks ago, it was confirmed that the Valhalla would be included but, so far, eagle-eyed photographers have yet to spot it on set. However, as development is still in its early stages, it’s clear that the hypercar driven by 007 won’t be a production-spec model. Even so, geaturing the car in the film could prove to be an excellent way to promote it to prospective customers – and get some (very welcome…) extra publicity.

The car that’s become synonymous with the world’s most famous fictional spy, the DB5, is also set to make an appearance at the upcoming film. Evidently, 007’s garage is growing and, with many new and exciting Astons in the works, he’ll clearly have many more to choose from for future films.
