Aston Martin meets James Bond 'Goldfinger' -
Michael Ashley, having completed a management course at the Ford Motor Company, was a recent recruit to Aston Martin's Press and Public relations department at the time of the James Bond DB5 in the latest Cubby Broccoli thriller 'Goldfinger'.
With the enviable task of taking 'the car' around the world's most glamorous locations, Ashley describes visits to the USA (New York's '21 Club' and LA's Beverly Hills Hotel) and Germany, where he meets 'Goldfinger' himself, the larger than life actor Gert Frobe.
Surrounded by beautiful girls, champagne and fine food, Ashley almost becomes 'James Bond' himself!
