2012 Aston Martin DBS | Colchester, Essex

A 2012 Aston Martin DBS, the V12 grand tourer built from 2007 to 2012 as a sharper take on the DB9. It pairs a 510bhp V12 with carbon-fibre bonnet, boot and wings, and the model appeared in Casino Royale. This car is finished in grey with a red interior, a sober exterior that gives way to a vivid cabin when the doors open. Its 6.0-litre engine sits under a long, low body that seats four. The model's front splitter, rear diffuser and 20-inch wheels give it a purposeful look in close-up. The low stance and clean lines suit advertising, music videos, fashion shoots and photography, where the grey bodywork reads simply and the red leather adds colour to interior shots. Film and television productions wanting a modern GT with Bond screen history have a natural choice here. Weddings and personal hires are covered too. The car is based in Colchester, Essex.
