Few things go together like James Bond and Aston Martin. A close second may be James Bond and dry martini, shaken not stirred, of course.

The car maker and the super spy have been paired up since 1964 when Sean Connery, the best James Bond to ever carry the name, drove his model DB5 loaded out with a full array of gadgets by Q in the hit film Goldfinger.
This year’s release of Spectre marks the 24th installment in the Bond franchise and the first time Aston Martin has made a model just for the production.
In anticipation of the movie’s release on DVD and Blu-ray this February, Christie’s Auction House will host a live auction on February 18th for charity offering many pieces of memorabilia from the film, including Bond’s car, the DB10.
Christie’s website covering the sale reads:
“The live auction on 18 February is led by an Aston Martin DB10, one of the series of DB10s designed and engineered by Aston Martin exclusively for James Bond, Spectre, illustrated above. Most of the DB10s were modified for use in the filming of Spectre, but two of those produced were kept back as show cars, for display purposes only, and this is one of them. The car is expected to realise between £1,000,000 and £1,500,000 and is to date the only DB10 to be released for public sale by Aston Martin and EON Productions. This is the only car that includes a special plaque signed by Daniel Craig and was displayed at the world premiere of Spectre at the Royal Albert Hall, London. Aston Martin has been associated with the James Bond franchise for over 50 years, with the DB10 model featuring in the latest Bond film, Spectre.”
