Aston Martin Lagonda (AML) has teamed up with EON Productions and Sky to celebrate Global James Bond Day on 5th October, launching a prize draw for fans, giving them a chance to win a wide screen television and Sky Q package.
Aston Martin cars are driven by James Bond in eleven of the 007 films; Goldfinger (1964), Thunderball (1965), On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969), The Living Daylights (1987), GoldenEye (1995), Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), Die Another Day (2002), Casino Royale (2006), Quantum of Solace (2008), Skyfall (2012) and SPECTRE (2015).
Throughout Friday, the four iconic Aston Martins from the 007 films will be driving through central London passing major landmarks and James Bond film locations.
Grab a selfie with the Vanquish from Die Another Day, complete with bonnet mounted guns at Aston Martin Park Lane or hop over to Aston Martin Works’ heritage showroom on Dover Street where you will find the battle-scarred DBS from Quantum of Solace.
Visit the Bond in Motion exhibition at the London Film Museum and see the DBS from Casino Royale (2006) parked outside. Inside is the largest official collection of original James Bond vehicles.
Aston Martin Vice-President and Chief Marketing Officer, Simon Sproule said:
“The connection between James Bond and Aston Martin reaches back through the decades so we are delighted to be supporting Global James Bond Day 2018. London is the home of 007 and fans should be on the lookout for some of the most exciting cars used by James Bond this Friday 5th October.”
Hints and tips will be posted throughout Friday on the @astonmartin and @007 social media channels, giving clues on the location of the cars, which will all bear decals to show they are Global James Bond Day cars. Photographs from the day should be posted on all social media channels, using the hashtags #JamesBondDay and #BondInMotion.
