Just seen this fantastic article - if you’re a DBS owner or fan, it’s a must read...

It’s also printed in the latest AM Quarterly magazine I believe.

As posted here: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&... you see it was printed in the August edition of AMQ.

In the latest (Winter) AM Quarterly, also the exact DBS Volante production numbers are shown.

Thanks for sharing! Anyone have a link to the Volante info?

There are 36 other colours used that only feature on a single example.

I wonder if I'm 1 of the 36?

Jeez, not another person claiming to own a Unicorn!

If it's a 1 of 1 it's nice to know but not all that important.

251 produced in the "Casino Royale Bond replica" configuration: DBS, Manual, 2+0, Casino Royale.
But, how many among them with LHD + Black interior ?

I am asking because this last combo is the true bond replica :-)
With a distribution of 1/3 RHD 2/3 LHD, and the fact that black interior must be quite common, I am betting on around 150 cars that are the true Bond Casino Royale replica.

When considering all the different available options, perhaps there are very few exactly identical Aston Martins.

We do enjoy the fun of 'supposed' rarity. Mine is a 1 of 7 (UK colour) model.
That does not make it desirable though, because Bristol have had one on sale for 7 months!

I am actuary though I love statistics and I am not looking for any sales pitch :-)

My car is unique to me anyway because I am adding some James Bond gadget on it.
First addition is the Glovebox/Sliding Drawer/Gun holder with a Walther P99
Second addition is the rotating plates.
More to come :-)
