Aston Martin is a British institution, having been founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford. Aston Martin’s headquarters can be found in Gaydon, Warwickshire, on a site which was previously home to an RAF airbase, and is just next door to Jaguar Land Rover!
The Aston Martin name is commonly associated with James Bond, Ian Fleming’s fictional MI6 spy. Arguably the most famous Aston to feature in the Bond films is the DB5, which first appeared in the 1964 film Goldfinger, and also makes appearances in Thunderball, GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough, Skyfall and Spectre. Other Aston models to appear include the DBS, V8 Vantage Volante, V12 Vanquish, DBS V12 and DB10.
Aston Martin also has a substantial racing history, having founded Aston Martin Racing (AMR) in partnership with Oxfordshire-based engineering company Prodrive in 2004. Since then, AMR have gone on to deliver numerous titles across the World Endurance Championship, GT4 Championship and Le Mans 24 Hours. From March 2021, the Aston Martin name will also return to Formula One, with the former Racing Point team rebranded to Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One Team.

BMT 216A Number Plate
The registration BMT 216A is undoubtedly the most famous Aston Martin registration plate, if not one of the most famous registrations in cinema history, with it associated with James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5 in the film Goldfinger. However, the Aston Martin it belongs to is far more than cinema history, with the DB5 the registration is displayed on actually being the first DB5 ever built, making it one of the most valuable cars in the world. Needless to say, it’s not possible to buy the BMT 216A registration, however many people do choose to purchase James Bond Aston Martin number plates for their cars.
