Kief Cars

Aston Martin is not a very huge brand in my home country, South Africa. One can find other sports cars here though. I’m not a big fan of British auto manufacturers, but this car is far superior to previous models out of Britain. James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) drove the Aston Martin Vanquish in the movie, Die Another Day. This car was designed by Ian Callum and was manufactured by Aston Martin between 2001 and 2007. The Aston Martin V12 Vanquish is capable of doing 315 km/h. The car was based on a 1998 GT Concept car called the Project Vantage which was first introduced in 1998 at the North American Auto International Auto Show and had its debut with a V12 engine. A production model was introduced in the year 2000 by Aston Martin and production started on the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish in 2001. From it’s introduction it was considered as Aston Martin’s flagship vehicle. This car was the successor to the Aston Martin Virage / V8 Vantage. It’s highly unlikely that one would find a bunch of these vehicles advertised in the classifieds. The Aston Martin Vanquish definately is, in my opinion, a very high quality vehicle and one of the most stylish ones ever produced.

The Aston Martin DB5 is loved by both movie buffs and lovers of vintage cars. The Aston Martin DB5 was the first and most recognized James Bond car. This car was first featured in Goldfinger in 1964. This truly is a classic car and successor of the Aston Martin DB4. Ian Fleming originally placed James Bond in an Aston Martin DB Mark III in his novel. The DB5 was Aston Martin’s newest model when the film was being made. The car used in the film was an original DB5 prototype and another standard car was used for stunts. 2 more modified cars were built for publicity tours after the film’s release. In January 2006, one of those cars was auctioned off in the US for over $2 million. A Tennessee museum owner bought the same car from it’s original owner in 1970 for £5,000. The other car is located in the Louwman Collection Museum in the Netherlands, this car was mainly used to promote Goldfinger. This truly classic sports car was produced by Aston Martin between 1963 and 1965. This collectible is a rare commodity nowadays, so there isn’t really a chance of find a car like this in the classifieds. The Aston Martin DB5 was also used in Casino Royale, Thunderball, GoldenEye and Tomorrow Never Dies. Just over 1000 units were produced by Aston Martin. Being a big James Bond fan, this is still one of my favorite sports cars. The classic look really appeals to me.
