You Are Going To Have To Be Quick,

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!
