Aston's last Bond car was a surprisingly delectable slice of movie memorabilia.
It's the cabin that’s a bit more of an acquired taste. Black leather with an Alcantara headliner is about as inoffensive as it gets, but the 007 logo and OHMSS name embroidered in red on the divider between the two rear seats is a tad gaudy. Apparently, it’s to mimic the red-trimmed glovebox that housed Bond’s rifle sight. There is a box in the boot with red suede trim, though you’ll find two Bond-branded bottles of Bollinger champagne and a set of four glasses in place of a gun.
Dodgy red stitching aside, I’ve actually got a soft spot for the OHMSS Edition. However, the general consensus onof the Bond-inspired DBS was, er, mixed at best. “I thought the DBS couldn't get any better, but that's just stunning!”, said one commenter; “Bloody embarrassing if you ask me”, said another.
We’re not here to talk about films, though, so let’s turn the attention back to this lovely OHMSS Edition that’s up for sale. It's one of just 50 examples produced and has covered a mere 700 miles in the past three years. And although it’s a collector’s item, this example is actually some £40,000-odd cheaper than it was when new and isn’t the priciest DBS currently in the classifieds. Mad, because it’s arguably the best. Perhaps to my eyes only.
