Missing Vantage Roadster found - Supercharged Bond car

[Dewi 2]

There are only seven Grigio Titanio - Ferrari colour, 4.7 Vantage Coupes and seven Roadsters in the UK.
I have collected details about these cars from sales advertisements, but obviously information about the one owner cars remains very limited.

JayEmm has reviewed a supercharged 4.7, which turned out to be a one owner Grigio Titanio car.
This Vantage is far from being a standard car, now having a supercharger, carbon ceramic brakes and for shows, all the working Bond gadgets.

Perhaps amusing that the DVLA records show one MoT failure, due to incorrect registration plates.
Could the rotating Bond plates have been left on by mistake?

That's soooooooooo naff

It did seem unusual to put so much effort in, when the car should be a DB5 (closed top) rather than a V8V Roadster.
The basis though is raising money for charity at shows, so there is a reason.

The gadgets certainly look very authentic. Wheel spinners actually work, but quite how they retract within the hub, I couldn't fathom out.
Possibly the working ejection seat needs a touch more power.

I assumed the wheel spinners were manually put in place and contained a battery and motor to spin the end.

Take out the whole thing, put back the 'driving' one, and away it goes.

Saw the owner "setting up" at Simply Aston... Lots of motors in the boot...

Harmless fun for charity and the kids love it. Good luck to him.
