There are many iconic movie cars from the Back to the Future DeLorean to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Although perhaps the Aston Martin DB5 driven by Connery’s is the most memorable.

But did you know that one of the two cars used in 1964’s Goldfinger was stolen in 1997?

Originally the Bond car was bought by a collector called Richard D Losee for $12,000 after production on the movie was completed.

He went on to sell the Aston Martin DB5 to another collector called Anthony Pugliese III for $250,000 in 1986.

He stored the Bond car at the Boca Raton Airport hangar in Florida, but it was stolen in 1997.

Whoever stole the car planned to do so meticulously, with alarms and guards going undisturbed.

A popular myth claims the car was flown over the Florida keys and dumped in the ocean.

But now the Aston Martin DB5, which has a current estimated value of $10 million, may have actually be found over 20 years after it went missing.

According to , a six-figure sum has been offered for information that will lead to the car being safely returned.

And now Christopher A Marinello, the chief executive of Art Recovery International claims they may be a step closer.

He said in a statement: “I have been given a specific tip, but we are working on it.”

He added: “We want to reach out to the collector car community and a vast array of mechanics to let them know we are very serious about recovering it.

“As there are many Aston Martins, it is very important that we get a shot of the chassis number, DP/216/1.

“This is what we are looking for, as it is very specific to the vehicle.

“It is quite possible the potential in the Middle East is a mere lookalike, which is why it is crucial we retain a close-up of the chassis number.”
