Aston Martin, the iconic British luxury sports car producer, has captured the imagination of anyone who has seen a Bond movie. The first-ever Aston Martin to be used in a Bond movie was the DB5 in Goldfinger. Aston Martin has been in the business of luxury sports car manufacturing since 1913. Fast-forward to 2010 Aston Martin introduced the Rapide, a 5-door 4-seater, high-performance sports saloon, a diversion from their grand tourer vehicles. The Aston Martin Rapide was produced until 2020 with four models under its name. Up for grabs is a 2012 Aston Martin Rapide with just 18,600 miles on the clock.
