Errr no that'll be the DB4 in Goldfinger that will... On Her Majesty's Service did have Dianna Rigg in it though

I think you will find that the car in Goldfinger was a DB5. And the DBS is much better looking

/Aston bore mode on/
because the Aston factory didnt have many cars available, the car used in the driving scene is the prototype DB5- actually a DB4 series 5 Vantage body (cowled headlights) with the Db5 engine (ie 3 SU carb's). DB5's have a small badge just behind the front wheels, and on the boot. A DB4 has no model badges at all, just the Aston wings on the front and back.
OHMSS is a DBS, and a DBS V8 makes a very brief appearence in "Diamonds are Forever"
In The Living Daylights the used two cars- one a V8 Vantage (without bodywork mods., original reg HLF 53T) and thes econd was a V8 Volante- this was Vistor Gauntlet's own car (he was the boss at AML at the time) and this car carries the reg number B549 WUU

That was a cool car though - My fave Bond car that white Esprit - Was something pretty damn special to behold as a kid!
I liked it too, Mungo. But the movie that made me fall in love with the Esprit was For Your Eyes Only. I really loved the white one that they blew up five minutes into the movie... I knew I had to have an Esprit someday...
Interesting thing was, I was actually visiting in the UK (Grandparents and Uncle near Ayrshire, Scotland) when that movie came out - I took it as a sign!
