An OLD Aston Martin, which starred alongside Pierce Brosnan in a beloved Bond film, is up for sale, 20 years after the blockbuster's release.
The car was owned by the chairman of the manufacturer himself and features a number of special Bond touches.

The most important thing is the chassis number, which the company specifically 007 digits to the engine.
A 2001 Vanquish model, which is almost identical to the stunt car used in the film Die another day.
The film followed Brosnan's Bond as he thwarted a plan to Communist takeover of South Korea.
In one of the most enduring scenes, Her Majesty's super spy chases villain Gustav Graves across the frozen landscape of a Icelandic glacier using the Vantage.
Although this car was not actually used on set, it was carried along Brosnan back in the real world as a press car for a number of promotional shoots and events.
Perhaps its most unique feature is the fact that it comes complete with replicas of the weapons used by MI6 expert Q in the movie.
The front grille features several ports for red missiles, while the hood houses retractable machine guns (all fake, of course).
Photos with the listing on AutoTrader show that the car comes with the original license plate and a special 007 logo number plate.
The car is still in excellent condition and has only driven 53,700 miles since new.
Many of these were overseen by Dr. Urich Bez, the former Aston Martin chairman and original owner of the car.
The silver bodywork appears to have barely a blemish, while the chestnut leather-upholstered interior looks virtually new.
Under the hood is Aston Martin's iconic V12 engine, with an output of over 500 hp and a top speed of approximately 368 km/h.
The ad states: “This is a great opportunity to purchase a car with a fascinating history.
“Originally supplied to Dr. Urich Bez from new and subsequently used as a press van and featured in various magazine articles with Pierce Brosnan and several Die Another Day Bond photo shoots.
“The car is delivered with a service, 12 months MOT, HPI-free and no damage from accidents.”
But thanks to its amazing history, as you can imagine, it's worth a hefty price tag.
The former Bond bike is advertised at £99,950.
It comes after an incredible Ferrari driven by some of the world's best drivers went on sale for £4.6 million.
