A classified location one hour before dawn. Several degrees below zero. A lorry halts, doors are flung open and a ramp hits the road with a startling clatter. A 40-year-old engine turns over sleepily and explodes into life. My mission has begun.
A familiar shape reverses through the smoke. It's a DB5, a silver one. But not just any DB5...
Commander James Bond's Aston Martin is, for perpetual schoolboys across the planet, the ultimate car. And, this freezing morning I'm driving it home, back to Bond's birthplace. A place so secret that only a handful of 007 obsessives know it ever even existed.
Thanks to `Jonathan Woodhams` for the alert.
