Aston Martin DB10 built for James Bond film Spectre sold for £2.4 million at auction

Jamie Bullen19 February 2016

An Aston Martin sports car made for the James Bond film Spectre has fetched £2.4 million at auction – even though it can’t be driven on public roads.

The DB10, one of the two remaining show cars from the fleet of 10 produced used for filming, smashed its guide price set at £1 million.

An anonymous buyer forked out £2.1 million for the model, which has a 4.7-litre petrol engine and can reach a top speed of 190mph, but buyers fees means the final amount will be around 2.4 million.

However, the car is for display only and cannot be driven on public roads.
