Back to the classics! Daniel Craig gets behind the wheel of James Bond's traditional Aston Martin for Skyfall



There have been a fair few changes to the traditional 007 formula since Daniel Craig took on the iconic role in 2006's Casino Royale.

But some old favourites return time and time again.

Bond's classic Aston Martin DB5, similar to the one seen in Goldfinger, was being filmed in scenes for the upcoming installment, Skyfall, in Glencoe in the Scottish Highlands today.

Vintage favourite: The traditional Aston Martin DB5, similar to the one used in Goldfinger, was seen during the filming of latest Bond movie, Skyfall, in Glencoe today Traditional setting: The car sped towards what looked like a grand old estate in Glencoe, Scotland

The vintage car sped across the countryside towards a grand old house.



And it looks as though Daniel might be getting a few tips on how to handle his wheels.



Racing car driver Ben Collins - who is best known as being the former Stig on Top Gear - was seen on the set of the film taking on the role of Craig's stunt driver in London today.

Behind the wheel of a black Jaguar XF, the 36-year-old was wearing the exact same suit and tie as the one Craig was getting dusty in.



However, this isn't the first time that Collins has had the chance to call himself 007.



The father-of-three has been in Craig's shoes twice before, being the stunt driver during the filming of Casino Royale and Quantum Of Solace.

In between his dangerous driving, Collins was spotted keeping warm on set in a black coat and was clutching a radio.



The scene was surrounded by several police vehicles - who were no doubt trying to keep the public at bay, as the crew attempted to film a possible car chase perfectly.



The scenes were snapped just a couple of days after fans were treated to their first official image of Craig as 007 from Skyfall.

The film is being directed by Academy Award-winner Sam Mendes, and also stars Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes.



Not much has been revealed about the plot, but what fans and film goers do know is that Bond's loyalty to M, played by Dame Judi Dench, is threatened by secrets from her past.



And when MI6 is attacked, he must track down and destroy the threat no matter what the cost to himself.
