A post on Pierce Brosnan's Instagram page tells us the sad news that Brosnan's personal Aston Martin Vanquish is no more. It was destroyed in a fire in the garage of his Malibu home on Wednesday 11 February 2015.

Pierce Brosnan owned a silver grey Aston Martin Vanquish, similar to the one used in his last James Bond movie Die Another Day (2002). The car can be seen in its full glory in this post on Instagram from last December:

The fire in Brosnan's house only caused material damage, and luckily no one was hurt.
