Connery’s Bond Aston Martin Sells

Sean Connery is synonymous with the Aston Martin DB5 featured in his James Bond films, but he only ever owned one himself.
Connery purchased a 1964 DB5 in 2018, just two years before he died at age 90, and the car now has a new owner.
The car was sold at the Broad Arrow Auctions event in Monterey, California.
The car was in excellent condition, and Connery had it repainted โ€˜Snow Shadow Greyโ€™ to match the ones he drove on film.
It had a pre-auction estimate of $1.4 to $1.8 million, but the winning bidder paid $2,425,000, which included a chauffeured drive by Formula One legend Jackie Stewart.
A portion of the proceeds were donated to the Sean Connery Philanthropy Fund, which has supported a variety of charities over the years.
