INTRODUCTION‍

Offered exclusively by CHROME TEMPLE in the signature and most desirable colour combination, this Australian-delivered Aston Martin DBS is equipped with the highly sought-after Graziano 6-speed manual transmission, delivering the full analogue experience that defined Aston’s golden years. Paired with its naturally aspirated all-alloy 5.9-litre V12 quad-cam engine — sharing its AM08 architecture with the DBR9 GT race car — it offers a visceral, mechanical driving experience underscored by a symphony of an engine note no longer heard in modern GTs. Add the direct James Bond provenance and you’re left with one of the most collectable and investment-grade Aston Martins of the 21st century.

VEHICLE HIGHLIGHTS

This MY2008 Aston Martin DBS represents the definitive iteration of the first “Bond-era” flagship — the car that relaunched Aston Martin’s performance GT into the modern age. Its appearance in the car park of the Casino Royale Hotel instantly became one of the film’s most memorable reveals, and even today the scene lands with the same impact it did in 2006. The TT3782 number plate worn by this example adds a subtle and respectful nod to the registration made famous by Daniel Craig’s on-screen DBS.

Built in May 2008 and Australian-complied in August 2008, this vehicle has travelled just 44,813 km and presents in exceptional order throughout, having recently undergone a professional inspection by Aston Martin Sydney.

It retains its original manuals and a continuous service record spanning Aston Martin and respected marque specialists. A meticulously maintained, Australian-delivered DBS that combines rarity, provenance and timeless design in one highly desirable package.

MODEL HISTORY

Unveiled to the public via its starring role in Casino Royale (2006), the DBS was positioned above the DB9 as Aston Martin’s performance flagship — the first production model to incorporate carbon-ceramic brakes and extensive carbon-fibre bodywork, including bonnet, wings, and boot lid.

Power came from Aston’s 5.9 L V12 producing 517 PS and 570 Nm, driving the rear wheels through a rear-mid-mounted 6-speed Graziano sourced manual gearbox.

0–100 km/h arrived in 4.3 seconds, with a top speed of 191 mph (307 km/h).

The DBS served as the bridge between the DB9’s luxury and the later Vanquish’s aggression — a grand-tourer built for drivers who valued tactile connection and old-world craftsmanship. Manual examples are now regarded as the purist’s choice, especially in the Casino Royale specification — forever linked to one of cinema’s most iconic automotive moments.

FINAL SUMMARY

This 2008 Aston Martin DBS (Manual) presents as a highly desirable collector-grade example of Aston Martin’s flagship of the 2000s — the model that marked the brand’s cinematic return in Casino Royale and set the tone for its modern performance lineage.

Australian-delivered, low-kilometre, and finished in the definitive colour combination of Casino Royale over Obsidian Black, this car encapsulates the perfect balance of elegance, performance, and rarity.

Offered with complete documentation and an unbroken service record through Aston Martin and authorised specialists, this DBS represents an exceptional opportunity to secure a manual V12 grand tourer with both cultural and collector significance.
