The famous James Bond Aston Martin is to be sold in a much anticipated auction taking place in October 2010. Given the celebrity status of this vehicle, it is of no surprise that it is expected to sell for well over $5 million.
Present owner and U.S. radio broadcaster Jerry Lee has decided to give the proceeds from the auction of the James Bond Aston Martin to the Jerry Lee Foundation. For a great cause, it is definitely a car worth adding to your vehicle collection (if you can afford it).
