Aston Martin V8 driven by Daniel Craig as James Bond in No Time To Die for sale

Luxury car dealer Tom Hartley is offering the 1981 Aston Martin V8, which was driven by Daniel Craig as James Bond in No Time To Die.

It is one of just three cars modified especially for the movie No Time to Die (2021) and is one of the cars driven by Daniel Craig as James Bond, in the film. The V8 is similar to the iconic car that was first seen in The Living Daylights (1987).

Scenes for No Time To Die were filmed on location in Norway, Italy, London, Scotland and Windsor. On his return to London, Bond (Daniel Craig) retrieves the V8 from his lock-up, pulling off the dust sheet to reveal the iconic car. Bearing the same registration as the car that played a key role in Timothy Dalton’s The Living Daylights, the car takes Bond from London to Madeleine Swann’s (Léa Seydoux) childhood home in Norway via the spectacular Atlantic Road.

The 5-speed manual V8 in the color Cumberland Grey was originally registered on 7 September 1981, with engine No: V/540/1019 and chassis no V8S0R12237.

The body panels are all made from aluminium, while the handcrafted interior has been made using Connolly leather.

The same car was auctioned in 2022 at Christie's and EON Productions' 60 Years of James Bond auction, and sold for £630,000.

According to the original Christie's listing, the car was a non-runner when it was acquired for film purposes and the engine was not functional. The engine was removed and an earlier V8 engine with a manual gearbox was fitted. As the vehicle was a 1981 vehicle built to Vantage specification, the bodywork was modified to match that of a 1979 V8 Coupe. It was then completely restored for film use and re-worked to an MOT standard.

The price is listed as £499,950. For more info and register interest for this car, visit TomHartley.com or send a message via the contact form.
