James Bond Aston Martin on Sale

Sooo THE FAMOUS 1964 ASTON MARTIN DB5 will be auctioned in London this October.  The 007 Vehicle is expected to fetch over $5 million.

According to Rich Altman who commented on MSNBC "the other screen used DB5 (BMT216A) was part of the collection of a Palm Beach collector named Anthony Pugliese.  It was stolen several years ago and has not been seen since.  Since the car is arguably the most famous car in the world and bears a plaque on the engine block attesting to its authentcity, the feeling is that the theives either stole it on consignment for a collector that could never let anyone know he had it or was a crime of oportunity that became so hot, the car was destroyed and possibly deep-sixed to get rid of the evidence.  It's a shame because it was a beautiful car and a remnant of an iconic movie.

Any guesses on which lavish money obliterator will buy this spectacular vehicle??  My guesses are as follows:

  • Nicholas Cage - *he has purchased everything else why not*
  • Some random NBA player
