Legendary Aston Martin driven by James Bond is found

A legendary Aston Martin driven by James Bond in Goldfinger could have been found more than twenty years after it was stolen from a Florida airport. The 1964 DB5 - which was equipped with machine guns and tyre-bursting blades for Sean Connery’s 007 - could have been found in the Middle East, according to a tip given to investigators. It was stolen in 1997 while its owner, who bought it in 1986 for $250,000, had it in an airport hangar in Boca Raton.

Now Art Recovery International, which was hired by an insurance company to find the DB5, could be on the verge of retrieving the car,The Sunday Telegraph reports. Christopher Marinello, Art Recovery’s chief executive, said: ‘I have been given a specific tip, but we are working on it.

‘We want to reach out to [the] collector car community and [a] vast array of mechanics to let them know we are very serious about recovering it.’ It is not known where specifically in the Middle East the car is believed to be stored. A six-figure cash reward is being offered for information that leads to its safe return.
