I was watching the re-runs and the Goldfinger Aston Martin that was recently sold at auction played its role. I thought how a Carfax report might read.

Multiple bullet marks. Crash through a wall. Ejector seat deployed and top panel damaged. Spilled oil.

Cheers Ron

Yeah, we watched some Bond yesterday, too. Always good stuff.

The classified for this one would be "low miles, ran when stored."

Carfax? Um, maybe a "salvage title?"

That car just sold for $4.8M. At least I think it was that one.

Apparently it was a stand-in car for driving scenes but was in the movies. I read that it was not reliable for aggressive driving until fixed up by AM. The toys were fitted by later owners to replicate the original car which was stolen. Now that would be a barn find.

The movie Christine was on last night and good fun. Carfax would be ten pages long.
