Iconic James Bond Sportscar On International Auction Block
"If you have roughly $6 million burning a hole in your pocket, you might be interested in bidding on the Aston Martin DB5 coupe used in the James Bond film Goldfinger. That’s the amount of cash that it will likely take to bring the car home from the October 27 London auction, the Daily Mail reports. The DB series was named after David Brown (the head of the company from 1947–1972).
The gadget-filled Aston Martin sports car appeared in several notable Goldfinger action sequences; the smoke screen, the oil slick discharge, the revolving number plates, and the bullet-proof shield supposedly all work. The revolving machine guns and the ejector seat, however, don’t! The auction house does say that the car is “road legal.”
A Philadelphia man bought the car directly from Aston Martin in 1969 for a mere $12,000. The vehicle has been in mothballs for the most part since then, but the owner has agreed to sell it on condition that the proceeds go to charity."
