Die Another Day (2002) - Aston Martin V12 Vanquish Rear License Plate.

Original license plate from James Bond's Aston Martin V12 Vanquish used in the production of the Lee Tamahori directed James Bond Spy movie 'Die Another Day' (2002), where James Bond is sent to investigate the connection between a North Korean terrorist and a diamond mogul, who is funding the development of an international space weapon.

Starring Pierce Brosnan, Halle Berry, Toby Stephens, Rosamund Pike, Rick Yune, John Cleese and Judi Dench,

In the film Die Another Day, after having his license to kill reinstated by M, Bond is equipped with his new car - the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish (playfully nicknamed the "Vanish" due to its "adaptive camouflage" feature). The car was equipped with all the usual Bond refinements including its most notorious feature: a cloaking device, which allowed it to become practically invisible at the push of a button. The car would go on to be heavily featured in the movie, especially during the Iceland segments, where the car is involved in an elaborate chase sequence with a Jaguar XKR driven by the villain's henchman Zao.

Whilst the standard car came with rear wheel drive and a massive 5.9-litre V12, the Vanquish used for filming was equipped with four-wheel drive and a Ford-sourced 300bhp V8 in order to increase traction on the ice.
