Aston Martin, one of the best cars on earth became the talk of the town in the James Bond movie Goldfinger.
The gadget and weapons-loaded vehicle were purchased by an American businessman named Anthony Pugliese III at a Sotheby’s auction in 1986. It was purchased for a price of $2,75,000 and is currently estimated to be worth $24 million. It was kept in a private hangar at Boca Raton Airport, Florida, USA, before it was stolen in June 1997 and was untraceable.
Now after 24 years, the car has been traced and is part of a private car collection in the middle east. The car is one of the only four made in the world for the movie and had gadgets like tyre-shredders, bulletproof shields, machine guns, oil and smoke distributors, and iconic ejector seats.
The car is suspected to be in one of the middle-east countries where multiple big car collectors reside. According to Christopher A Marinello, Chief Executive, Art Recovery International, the current possessor may not be aware that the car was stolen when he purchased it. If they get to know about it, then they should conduct a discreet discussion to clear the title of the iconic car.
