James Bond to drive old Aston in latest movie

Leaked footage from the 25th James Bond has revealed the world's favourite British secret agent will climb behind the wheel of a '85 Aston Martin V8 Vantage last seen in 1987 The Living Daylights.

The short amateur footage, shot in Norway on June 5-14, on the famous Atlantic Ocean Road clearly shows the famous Aston V8 Vantage been driven and pursued by two modern Range Rovers.

Featuring the same B549 WUU registration as the original car driven by Timothy Dalton in his debut as the 007 it's not known if the car used in Bond 25 is the actual car used back in the Living Daylights.

Muddying the water is the B549 WUU reg plate was used on not only a coupe, but a Volante convertible and, an ultra-rare sedan.

Few will care, especially if the original V8 Vantage coupe, that was said to actually belong to Aston's then chairman, Victor Gauntlett, feature some of the same gadgets as in the original stun-laden thriller.

If so, expect 007 to deploy retractable skis, spiked snow tyres, an afterburner hidden behind the rear number plate, a pair of heat-seeking missiles and a self-destruct button.

As well as the old timer, it's thought Bond will also drive a more modern Aston for the film, possibly the car-maker's latest DBS Superleggera Volante or the pure-electric Rapide E.
