A foolish wealthy James Bond fan has reportedly shelled out £200,000 for an Aston Martin DBS that doesn’t work. There is a good reason why he paid so much - it’s the infamous model that was written off during filming of the latest Bond movie, Quantum of Solace (opens on 31 October, folks).
The trashed Aston is one of six DBS models that were used to make the movie. It met its watery fate when an Aston engineer lost control on a slippery bend and ploughed through a barrier into Lake Garda in Italy.

The folks behind the James Bond franchise may have picked a god-awful name for the latest film, but they more than make up for it with their choice of automobiles.
The brand new Quantum of Solace trailer may feature Olga Kurylenko behind the wheel of a naff golden Ford Ka - hopefully it won’t get a lengthy appearance like the Ford Mondeo did in Casino Royale - but it also gives us a glimpse at the gorgeous Aston Martin DBS that Danny Craig became acquainted with last time round.
Frankly, I’m so excited about this film that I could shit a squirrel - roll on October 31st!
