Aston Martin DB5 "No Time To Die" Stunt Car Sold for $3.1 Million

An Aston Martin DB5 stunt car from the 2021 James Bond film "No Time To Die" sold for 2.9 million British pounds ($3.1 million) at a Christie's charity auction this week.

Proceeds from the DB5 auction will go to several charities, including the Prince's Trust, the Prince of Wales Charitable Foundation, and three charities that support veterans of the British Special Forces.

For the filming of No Time to Die, Aston built eight DB5 replicas, each for a specific stunt or shot (two original cars were also used). These special cars are loaded with gadgets such as rotating license plates, headlights that retract to reveal a Gatling gun, and bomb launchers. The replica uses a custom-built space frame chassis and carbon fiber bodywork.

The DB5 played a starring role in a memorable chase scene early in the film in which Bond does donuts in an Italian piazza and knocks down bad guys with the car's hidden gun. The stunt was performed by rally driver Mark Higgins, who was substituted for Bond actor Daniel Craig.

At the same auction, a 1981 Aston Martin V8 driven by Craig in "No Time To Die" was sold; the DB5 references the early Bond films "Goldfinger" and "Thunderball," while the later V8 is a 1987 "Living Daylights" resembles the car used in "The Living Daylights. The "No Time To Die" car sold for approximately $397,700, with proceeds going to the UNHCR.

Two Astons, a Jaguar XF, a Land Rover Defender 110, and a Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR, along with a "No Time To Die" stunt car were also auctioned for charity.
