James Bond’s Aston Martin Fetches Over $450K at Auction

Daniel Craig’s personal Aston Martin Vanquish sold for $468,500 at a recent Christie’s auction.

All proceeds from the sale are going towards The Opportunity Network, which helps students in underrepresented communities excel in college and in their careers. Actor Craig, who plays James Bond, is a member of The Opportunity Network’s board.

Christie’s estimated the Vanquish Centenary Edition would fetch between $400,000 to $600,000 so it sold on the lower side. The special vehicle was numbered 007 and is one of just 100 made.

The 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish Centenary Edition was sold on April 20 in New York.
