An Aston Martin DB 2/4, which is understood to have been Ian Fleming‘s inspiration for James Bond’s Aston Martin in the original novel Goldfinger, has been discovered and is to be unveiled by international auctioneers Coys. A unique picture call will take place tomorrow at 11:00 tomorrow, Tuesday 20th May, at the Old Admiralty Building, 26 Whitehall SW1A 2WH, where Fleming had his office. A Royal Naval Commander will meet those in attendance and there will be an opportunity to photograph and film the car inside and out.
