A VINTAGE Aston Martin that featured alongside Pierce Brosnan for a beloved Bond film is up for sale 20 years on from the blockbuster's release.
The car was actually owned by the manufacturer's chairman himself and bears some special Bond-themed touches.

A 2001 Vanquish model, it is practically identical to the stunt car used in the film Die Another Day.
In one of its most enduring scenes, Her Majesty's superspy chases down villain Gustav Graves across the frozen landscape of an Icelandic glacier using the Vantage.
While this car wasn't actually used on set, it did accompany Brosnan back in the real world as a press car for a number of promotional shoots and events.
Perhaps the most unique feature, though, is the fact that it comes complete with replicas of the weapons installed by MI6 boffin Q in the film.
The front grille features several ports for red-tipped missiles while the bonnet houses retractable machine guns (all fake of course).
Photos accompanying the listing on AutoTrader show that the car comes with its original registration, as well as special 007 logo number plate.
It remains in pristine condition and has only done 53,700 miles since new.
Many of those were under the stewardship of Dr Urich Bez, the former Aston Martin chairman and original owner of the car.
Under the bonnet, it carries Aston's iconic V12 engine, laying down over 500 horsepower and a top speed of around 190mph.
