Actor Daniel Craig, who has played the British spy in the last four Bond films, has decided to sell his personal Aston Martin numbered 007.
The luxurious ride, which has been owned by Craig since his first appearance as ‘James Bond’ in Casino Royale, will be auctioned at Christie’s auction in April.
“The bespoke, midnight-blue 2014 Centenary Edition Vanquish – numbered 007 – will be offered on 20 April in New York. Sale proceeds will benefit The Opportunity Network, which helps young people with career development,” the auction house said in a statement, reported Efe.

The automobile, worth an estimated $500,000 to $600,000, is being sold under Christie’s The Exceptional Sale, described by the auction house as “a highly selective, tightly curated auction of decorative arts masterpieces and significant cultural icons”.
Craig was reminiscent about selling his sweet ride but at the same he believes it’s very important to further the work of The Opportunity Network.
“This Aston Martin Vanquish is a tour de force of automobile engineering and a distinct pleasure to drive,” Craig said.
“While I will miss it, I am keen to further the very important work of The Opportunity Network with its sale,” he added.
Craig, 49, worked with Aston Martin’s design chief to customise his personal vehicle.
