The Aston Martin DB5 is the most famous Aston Martin car, thanks to its use by James Bond in Goldfinger (1964). Although Ian Fleming had placed Bond in a DB Mark III in the novel, the DB5 was the company's newest model when the film was made. The car used in the film was the original DB5 prototype, with another standard car used for stunts. Two more modified cars were built for publicity tours after the film's release. In January 2006, one of those cars was auctioned in Arizona for US$ 2,090,000. In 1970, the same car was originally bought from the owner, Sir Anthony Bamford, by a Tennessee museum for a mere £5,000. The other car, the one in my pictures here, is now located in the Netherlands, as part of the Louwman Collection.
