if you want this one,
it is one of the four DB5s for the 007 movies Goldfinger and Thunderball which starred Sean Connery as the super-suave spy, and this classic model is one of only two of the four originals to be fully kitted out with all of Q Branch's famous gadgets including imitation machine guns, revolving number plates and even the tyre-slicing device, the good news is that this car is in exceptional condition, it never appeared on the big screen but was one of two cars used for promotional purposes - touring the USA in 1965 for the release of Thunderball,
under the bonnet of the DB5 is a 4-litre engine which develops around 280bhp - giving the British sports car a top speed of 150mph, now the bad news in 2010 the other car used in Goldfinger sold for £2.9 million at RM Auctions' Battersea sale - although all of the car's gadgets were retrofitted following the film series' success,
and the price of this one? Surrey-based Aston Martin specialists RS Williams have now put the DB5 on the market for £3million - describing it as 'the most famous car in the world', would I like it? you bet!
