SPYSCAPE, the edutainment company in New York focused on the world of secret intelligence, announced in July 2018 that they had acquired James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 driven by Pierce Brosnan in the 1995 film GoldenEye, previously on display at Bond in Motion at London Film Museum (the only official and fully licensed James Bond museum in the World), via auction for the staggering sum of 2 Million GBP (approx. 2.6 Million USD).

This is the car Pierce Brosnan drove during the 1995 film GoldenEye. It was most notably the star of a three-minute-long race in the hills above Monaco against villain Xenia Onatopp, played by Famke Janssen. When last sold for 200,000 USD in 2001, this iconic vehicle entered the Guinness Book of World Records as the most valuable piece of Bond memorabilia ever.

"Spying is an important part of our culture in both fact and fiction, and we are thrilled to acquire this iconic part of our cultural universe," said Ian Oldaker, COO of SPYSCAPE. "We are excited to let spy fans experience this car in person and put themselves in 007's driving seat."
