Aston Martin DBS from The Persuaders up for sale

For those of you that can remember back to the super seventies I am sure you will also remember the TV programme  ‘The Persuaders’ which starred Roger Moore and Tony Curtis, an action packed  TV show shot in various exotic locations and the most expensive series filmed at that time.

As well as starring two of the best known actors at the time the show also featured two prestige cars an Aston Martin DBS and a bright red Ferrari Dino.

The rare Bahama Yellow painted DBS which was built in 1970 and specially modified for the TV show is going under the hammer on 17th May 2014 at the Bonhams Aston Martin Works Sale in Newport Pagnell.

The car featured in nearly all of the 24 episodes and was registered for the TV show with the number plate BS 1 (the Aston Martin’s real number plate was PPH 6H) . When Roger Moore took the role of James Bond the show came to an end and the Aston Martin DBS was returned to Newport Pagnell for reconditioning.

Over the years the car has had 5 owners and is now being offered on the open market for the first time in its 44 year history.

Update for you the  Aston Martin DBS used by Roger Moore in The Persuaders!  sold for an astounding £533,500 at Bonhams’ Newport Pagnell sale, the highest price ever paid for a DBS at auction.
