A 1964 Silver Aston Martin that was once driven by Sean Connery in the James Bond movies and is dubbed the most famous car buy RM auctions is to go under the hammer in London on 27 Oct. This car was one of the two original Aston Martin that featured on screen with Sean Connery behind the wheel in ‘Goldfinger’ and ‘Thunderball’ is expected to fetch as much as $ 10 million.
