AWESOME pic, Coastie!!!
Being pic-posting challenged, I couldn't post it myself, but that one came up along with this one when I was googling "ringo starr facel vega":

Several amusing sightings there including Sean Connery in a Sunbeam Alpine and Roy Rogers in an Indy 500 Pace Car , and a somewhat petulant appearing Mick Jagger awaiting the completion of a traffic ticket... at first glance thought it was a Ferrari 250 Long Wheel Base but then realized might also be an Aston Martin with custom coachwork, the hood is quite unique....not to mention the evident rear fender collision damage... :shock:
Ahhhh...in fact, here we are, then:

It's a DB6.
Apparently he'd just suffered the indignity of being pranged by a Ford.
:lol:
Unusual by the way to think of Mr. Connery piloting something prior to the Aston, but I suspect that car made an appearance in Dr. No, as seems suggested by the caption.
Speaking of Bond, many folks are unaware that prior to the Aston Martin, Commander Bond's pride and joy was a
"Blower Bentley"
In fact one actually got a few moments' screen time in the '67 version of Casino Royale, piloted by the inimitable Peter Sellers.
:wink:
