History
During the shooting of the pre-title sequence, one of the DBS cars ended up in Lake Garda. An Aston Martin factory employee lost control of it in heavy rain while transporting it along the narrow lakeside roads to the set; he was rescued with minor injuries but the car was wrecked. The wreck was later bought for GBP 200,000, more than the list price of a new car.
