A replica of an Aston Martin DB5 used for the stunts in James Bond blockbuster "No Time to Die" sold for nearly £3 million at auction on Wednesday, auction house Christie's said.

Proceeds from the sale, which fetched £2.92 million ($3.18 million), will be donated to charity, along with receipts from the sale of 24 other lots auctioned at a special sale of items marking 60 years of 007.
