007's Aston DB5 for sale


sfy2004

Recommended Posts

James Bond fans with deep pockets will soon have the chance to get their hands on the ultimate piece of 007 memorabilia, as the martini-sipping, daredevil spy's Aston Martin DB5 goes up for auction next month.

 

The sleek silver sports car, driven by the British secret agent played by Sean Connery in "Goldfinger," kicked off the gadgetmania for which the Bond films, based on Ian Fleming's novels, later became known.

 

The DB5 being sold is factory-fitted with gadgets including the machine guns, revolving number plates, oil slick sprayer and smoke screen that helped 007, aided by Bond Girl Pussy Galore, outwit gold smuggler Auric Goldfinger in the 1964 blockbuster.

Wasn't the very original Bond DB5 stolen from an airport hanger? Still this is the definition of cool.

 

Yeah, never to be seen again!

 

This one at auction is an exact replica built after they made Goldfinger (can't help but think of Alan Partridge when I hear that name now ;) )

ooo you patronise like my mum, nice one. :rolleyes:

Besides read it in TG mag last month (fyi its on their website now too)

This one at the auction was only used in long shots and had the gadgets fitted for promotional purposes after filming, if you read the article.
