I beleive it is, F40 BLU, although he sold it a couple of years ago for about a million, and it's now up for sale for double that.

If it is, I think he sold it quite a while ago ? Happy to be proven wrong though

Aston DB4 .. although I'm no expert

Lovely car, but a shame it's had a respray in boring James Bond silver.

Looks terrible in that red imho, silver shows the design off nicely.

And it is the actual Goldfinger model, not a DB5, like the film pretended.

That’s just reminded me, this was next to the blue F40.

Yes that’s the one, the sign said F40 BLU.

The first F40 to exceed £1 million in the UK at a public auction when he sold it (since the heady days of the early 90s that is), now in the states. Came from Japan in white with an LM copy kit a good few years ago, Sam bought it from Macari and had it changed back to road car spec and also had Zanassi paint it the current blue.

Which is interestingly a Porsche shade of blue, not a Ferrari colour.

I could be wrong (,probably am) but weren't ALL bar 2 F40s painted red by the factory with the two non red cars being for the sultan of Brunei or something like that.
Sitting back and waiting for the definitive answer now......

The wheels on that Lagonda look awful - way to big for the car

It's a 1 of 1 Lagonda Vantage.

IIRC, Iain Tyrell did a YT video on it a few months ago.

He did indeed. Very interesting it was too.
