Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2009-04-11 11:49	troubadour wrote As an Aston Martin afficionado, I know rather more about these things than I perhaps should. The main car from the film was actually registered BMT 216A, and it was the prototype DB5 - which was actually developed from the DB4 Series V. There is documentary evidence of the car in its pre-James Bond role, where it served as a test vehicle - it was actually road tested by, I think, Motor magazine. As for the DB5 proper, that was actually in production from October 1963, which was a full year before the film was released. The BMT registration mark was, I believe, local to Feltham, where the Aston Martin factory was at the time. They had yet to move to Newport Pagnell. The reason why the number no longer appears at the DVLA is because shortly after the film, the car was sold and its new owner re-registered the car 6633 PP - the registration I believe the car still bore when it was stolen from its aircraft-hangar home in Miami, Florida in, if my memory serves, 1996. It has not been seen since. vehicle_1820-Aston-Martin-DB5-1964.html
