Aston Martin Set to Steal the London Classic Car Show
A select collection of rare Aston Martins includes DB4 from The Italian Job driven by British actor Sir Michael Caine.
For 106 years, Aston Martin has made some memorable cars. The Lagonda. The Vanquish. The Vantage. Every single car has helped the company become the British motoring icon it is today, one beloved by fictional spies, real-life royalty, and enthusiasts alike.
Thus, it’s only fitting that Aston Martin is bringing some of its finest and rarest models to the 2019 edition of the London Classic Car Show February 14 through 17.
One of the cars to come to the London Classic Car Show is the DB4 Convertible from The Italian Job, as driven by Sir Michael Caine’s character, Charlie Croker. This particular model is said to have survived its shove down an alpine road during filming.
Another Aston to be shown is a 2007 V12 Vanquish S in Tungsten Silver. Unlike the DB4, this Vanquish S is available for around $193,000, likely because it’s one of the last of its kind to be hand-built at Aston Martin’s old factory in Buckinghamshire before closing the doors in July 2007. A total of 10 vehicles will be present at the London Classic Car Show.
“The London Classic Car Show is always an early high point of the classic car year in the UK,” said Aston Martin Works president Paul Spires. “It’s a great opportunity for visitors to see some of the most exciting and exotic cars from across the decades, and I’m very pleased that Aston Martin is once again front and centre at this enjoyable and engaging event.â€
