Pall Mall: Aston Martin DB5 among cars in motoring spectacle

Thousands of spectators congregated in Pall Mall to see a display of some of the world’s oldest and newest cars.

The central London street was closed to through traffic for the St James’s Motoring Spectacle, organised by the Royal Automobile Club.

Cars on show across five dedicated zones included models dating back to 1896 and the Aston Martin DB5, well known from the 60-year-old James Bond film Goldfinger.

A dedicated zone focused on modern design, providing both an opportunity for the public to see supercars and how manufacturers are embracing technology to make vehicles more sustainable, the automobile club said.
