ZIG ◊ 2005-12-07 02:30	This is definitely a 6 cylinder, Vantage, DBS Chasis No. DBS/5234/R Eng No. 400/3831/SVB It was a works demonstrator, & special engine built in the experimental department, One of two cars used in the film... This was registered as GKX8G and was used for all the external shots, The other car was used for the internal scenes, with cameras being set up and mounted on the side of the vehicle.
quiksilver ◊ 2008-03-25 16:37	ben68 wrote It seems to be a V8, not a 6 cyl. The V8 was first used in 1969 so it could be either. The V8 had a new grill and the mirrors where located further back on the later cars. This Looks like a 6 cyl.
G-MANN ◊ 2008-09-03 23:36	A new Bond (in the form of George Lazenby) and a new Aston Martin, the DBS. We don't see any real "gadgets" but we see one custom feature, the glove compartment holds a dismantled rifle (the pieces fit into the felt moulding). Bond uses the telescopic sighting to watch Tracy (Diana Rigg) as she walks along the beach and into sea, then Bond drives onto the beach and rescues her from the water. Although not used in any big action sequences the Aston Martin is driven by Bond in various scenes including the ending where the car is decorated with flowers for his wedding to Tracy.
G-MANN ◊ 2008-09-04 00:49	Registration GKX8G doesn't appear on the DVLA database, but G-reg suffix means 1968-69. -- Last edit: 2008-09-04 00:49:45
