DRIVEN: One special Aston Martin DB5 owned by a former 007, Sir Sean Connery

Going on sale with Broad Arrow Auctions next week is Sir Sean Connery's own 1964 Aston Martin DB5. He made a few specific requests including the deletion of the wing mirrors which I didn't even notice because the old fashioned styling of the cabin provides such amazing visibility.
The DB5 feels like an old friend having driven one in the last three James Bond movies and to drive one that was owned by a former 007 was a special moment, thank you to Broad Arrow for the awesome opportunity.
This was one was tuned to perfection by RS Williams and is such an easy car to drive with a cheeky snap of power and smooth cornering. And that lovely smell of wood and old leather really teleports you back to the 60's.
For more information on the Aston Martin, or to register for the upcoming auction on 18 August, visit www.broadarrowauctions.com, and for information on attending the Hagerty Motorlux event - visit www.motorlux.com for ticketing. Hope to see you there :)

I’m so confused that I’m just seeing all of your vids now. They are so good. The algorithm is really blowing it

[@richardelson3261]

What a gem and so glad funds went to charity

[@psymw]

Well done Ben. Really liking your videos, kept it up 👍🏻

[@muhammadhazikrabbani2697]

Ben you look perfect for this role.

What a beautiful film. Ben, excellent as the Stig, but loving you doing more work in front of the camera. Respect. I'd love to see you head up BBC Top Gear!

One of the classiest and best looking cars ever made. Those spoke wheels may not be practical, but these sure as hell look amazing.

I believe Sean Connery owned and drove a Jenson CV8 in period.

I'm surprised it's road legal without the mirrors - I know historic cars don't have to comply with modern standards, but I didn't know you were allowed to take them backwards!

[@janne65olsson]

Hi Ben. You will allways get a thumbs up from me. As long as you drive something in an episode her or Drive tribe. Even if it is a lawn mover. 😎👍

[@dr2165]

Damn! amazing car.

[@myou6675]

Could have watched an hour long version of this

[@scryla2000]

So what did it go for at auction ?!

[@ikagan65]

$2.4 mil

[@gregakablackie]

In my opinion that was a steal. The ride-along with Sir Jackie is worth more. My thoughts was it would go for 4.5 to 5 million USD.
