Car lovers will be shaken and stirred when an Aston Martin, driven by 007 in James Bond film Die Another Day, joins the line-up at the Bradford Classic car show on Saturday.

The Aston Martin Vanquish, believed to be worth more than £200,000, was a special-effects stunt car driven in the 2002 blockbuster by Pierce Brosnan and is rarely seen in public.

Motoring enthusiasts are expected in their hundreds to see the Vanquish and other classic vehicles on show in Centenary Square and at the Speedmaster Conference Centre in Albion Mills, Greengates, with a free half-hourly bus service shuttling visitors between the venues.

Speedmaster spokesman David Barzilay said: “A number of Aston Martins were used for filming and some were certainly written off and others sold. So it is quite unique.”

The Vanquish will be on show at Speedmaster, while another Aston Martin, the DB9, which was unveiled at the Geneva motor show earlier this year, will be on display in Centenary Square.

Bradford Council’s executive member for regeneration, Councillor Adrian Naylor, said: “The Bradford Classic has built up a national reputation as a quality car event and it is tremendous that a prestigious car manufacturer such as Aston Martin is confidently giving its support.”

Also included at the car show will be a unique £14m 1966 Jaguar XJ13, which will be driven from the conference centre to the city centre with a police escort. It was built as a potential Le Mans contender and boasts a 502 bhp, five-litre V12 engine, but was ineligible to compete when a rule change limited engines to three litres.

The Jaguar will be joined by its test driver, Norman Dewis, who crashed it at 140mph on a test track in 1971, after earlier breaking the lap record at 161mph.

The smash happened when a wheel gave way on the banking, flipping the car end over end twice, before rolling two more times and coming to rest on what remained of its wheels. Mr Dewis escaped unhurt, but the car was wrecked.

Now painstakingly re-built, the Jaguar will also go on show at Speedmaster on Saturday evening when Mr Dewis will give a talk about his exploits.

Eighty other classic cars will be on show on Saturday, including Bradford-built Jowetts.

Sunday will feature classic cars, including rally cars, supercars and the Williams Formula One car. Collector and motoring enthusiast Jonathan Turner, of Wetherby, will be displaying some of his cars at Speedmaster, including a 1964 Mini Cooper S, a 1907 Itala and a Gulf Racing liveried Aston Martin DB9.

There will also be a free display of photographs at the Impressions Gallery Studio in Centenary Square.

James Hanson, Speedmaster managing director, said: “There will be cars in the showroom and the city centre, including Formula 1 racing cars from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s and plenty of other cars.

“We also have an enormous Scalextric-type Carerra race track for people to come along and have a play with.”

The event organisers, Bradford Council’s city centre management team, are putting on the free half-hourly bus service between Centenary Square and Speedmaster from 10.15am on both days. Keighley Bus Museum will run a vintage bus service on Sunday.
