RE: 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' DBS
Discussion
If it's meant to be an homage, right down to the colour, then why is the colour different?
I'm as much of a Bond fan as the next man but I wonder when AM will stop feeling the need to monetise this particular connection. Never understood why any grown person would consider it cool to drive around in a 'Bond car' that is anything but. Seems pretty juvenile and IMO 'de-premiums' the brand.

I agree entirely it does devalue the brand, very tacky. Its a bit like a premium watch with 007 on the dial - really who has this sort of money & this lack of taste?I'm as much of a Bond fan as the next man but I wonder when AM will stop feeling the need to monetise this particular connection.

Perhaps its time to consider a new car anyway, perhaps another Lotus again ?
Bloody embarrassing if you ask me. Have Aston lost all shame.
Lose the horrible wheels, the 007 references and the gawping front end and it's OK. Personally I'd rather have the original.
Like a previous poster the ending of OHMSS really got to me when watching it as a kid. Not a fan of Lazenby but still one of the better Bond films. Now I'm an old man I see myself as more Teresa's dad than Bond but he's a pretty cool character all the same.
Maybe a Marc Draco (Tracy's dad) edition would be a better bet. It would appeal more to the old farts more likely to be able to afford yet another special edition Aston.

Stunning color, quite like the wheels and interior but would have to ditch the Bond references.
Or alternatively just buy the standard one in that color and save some cash!
For me OHMSS is the best Bond film, for most of the reasons people disliked it so much. A real shame that Lazenby declined to do more films, he would have matured nicely into being a classic Bond.
