In On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, which Aston Martin model does James Bond drive?

James Bond drives an Aston Martin DBS in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

The 1969 film features George Lazenby’s Bond driving a dark-colored Aston Martin DBS. The car appears in the story’s romantic and travel sequences and is notably associated with Bond’s relationship with Tracy Draco. Unlike the gadget-heavy DB5 in Goldfinger, this DBS is presented more as a stylish personal car than as a showcase for elaborate equipment.

Aston Martin introduced the DBS in the late 1960s as a larger grand tourer positioned above the DB6. The film’s appearance is historically important because it predates the later Aston Martin DBS used in the Daniel Craig era. The two cars share a name but are separated by decades of automotive design and engineering.

A frequent mix-up is identifying the car as a DB6, since the DBS resembles other Aston Martin grand tourers of the period. The film’s credited Bond car is specifically the Aston Martin DBS.
