To celebrate today's Global James Bond Day (it's a thing, apparently) Aston Martin are having a handful of their star cars trundling around some of London's landmarks today.
The seven cars will be on the streets all day as part of a competition giveaway that involves you taking a selfie with them which could lead to a prize from Sky or a big telly.

An impressive photo, but,

there seems to be a block on opening a larger size.
Can anyone help?

It will only be for my private use, not commercial.

It's a screengrab from AM's Twitter account approx 650x450, so won't go any bigger from here. If you pop over to their Twitter page you can open the image in a new tab where it is a "large.jpg" with dimensions of 1022x681.

Edit to add, here you go - click that: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DouyRnyW4AAB-RZ.jpg:la...

Here's some photos I took of 5 outside the London Film Museum. BMT 216A and B549 WUU arrived and drove past me as I was walking over there, which was lovely.

B549 WUU isn't the original car as it's a late model Vantage with big arches, chin spoiler, Ronals and blanked off grille,
Whereas the real one was a V8 saloon. The rear plate is clearly stuck over the original. Not sure how legal that is driving round London!

GKX 8G isn't on it's real plates either, so may be a non-original car. It doesn't have the wing mirrors of George Lazenby's example.

The DB10 is one of the stunt cars, with roll cage, full harnesses, etc.

Especially since the reg (originally used by the factory) is currently on a different Aston Martin owned by a private individual (proprietor of a high end car dealership).

I saw a few stickered up AMs on the Embankment on Wednesday, guess there were returning from Paternoster Sq after the IPO celebrationw as concluded.

They should have launched the IPO on Friday to coincide with this!
