I actually assumed The Mantis already had an Aston Martin with the size of that collection. And there was the collection video with the closed door. I thought there was a DBS or Vanquish behind there as it was around the time of Casino Royale. But the Vantage is ok.
I'm sure you guys know that the new Vantage is on the verge of being shown in the next few days. I think I'm one of the few people that liked the DB10 and Spectre though. I'm looking forward to seeing how closely the new production Vantage resembles the DB10 as I wasn't impressed by the DB11.

I’m so in love with the DB10 and I’m awaiting the new vantage for the same exact reason ! (Hated the DB11)
Although a 2007-2009 DB9 is realistically closer to what I can afford and to a Bond status, I still dream someday of getting the new vantage because it’s as close it will ever get to a DB10.
Wow 27k for a bike throw in another 5k and you could pick up a decent second hand DB9 in the UK. I think I know where my money would go as I always prefer 4 wheels over 2!!
Cheers :007)
My name is Bond, Basildon Bond - I have letters after my name!
Ahh very jealous Mark, I can’t wait to see that new model! She looks like a beauty in the spy shots and AM’s released photos (with the disguised paint job) – very DB10!
Finally got my car out of storage for Thanksgiving. Despite a flooded house, being displaced for months, and an annus horribilis in many other ways I still have much to be Thankful for.
First time together!
Dont wait for your ship to come in. Swim out and meet the bloody thing.
Seeing ExpatJB's photo's of his Aston Martin and his Norton Motorbike, and reading of invites to the Vantage preview reminds me of something that happened to me back in November 2015.
I found out that the DB10 would be at a local Aston Martin dealership as part of a tour it was doing of dealerships following the release of Spectre.
I spoke to their Sales Manager who said unfortunately the car was there for a private event but if I could get there early enough I could take photo's of the DB10 and a Silver Birch DB5 that they had on display, so long as I was finished before their event started at 10:00 AM.
So armed with my camera I got the kids off to school and braved the rush-hour traffic and then got to the Aston Martin dealership a little after 9:00 AM. And despite trying to remain calm on the outside, on the inside I was thrilled at seeing such a unique Bond car 'in person'.
Whilst I was looking at the cars I saw a motorbike being wheeled into the showroom to be displayed alongside them. It was the Norton Dominator SS Motorbike that featured in SPECTRE in the Q's lab scenes, sporting machine guns. It had also featured in one of the Clapper-Board photo's that offered us a glimpse into what was going on when Spectre was being filmed.
That is some collection of Bond automotive holy grail right there AstonMartinDBS! Add a couple of generations of DBS ad maybe a Toyota 2000gt and you have it all. :x
You will know the Nortons are made in Derbyshire I'm sure. At Donington Hall. Looking forward to a tour one day.

Alas, not mine - but was great to see them all on display.

Donnington Hall is about 30-40 minutes away from where I live - if you ever do make it over here to visit Norton then let us know and we could go for a Pint afterwards and discuss all things Bond! {[]

Wow! Congratulations, David! Certainly proof that hard work and dedication pay off! Very happy for you! Enjoy the ride in good health!
On a side note, this is likely to be the only Aston Martin I'll be riding

(Actually this one is outside of my budget too...
Kind regards,

Over $20,000 for a bicycle?!?
