Where parts

Apparently, no amount of money can buy style. This statement has not only been proved wrong but absolutely blown out the water, with the news that the legendary Aston Martin DB5, which has infamously been “driven by a certain fictional secret agent”, is due to go up for auction in October and bring in a remarkable £4 million, reports TheTechHerald.com website.

PistonHeads.com rather accurately reported that the 1964 Aston Martin in question is well-known around the world by its original UK registration number, FMP 7B, and is apparently the “sole remaining 007 DB5, as featured on screen alongside Sean Connery in the film Goldfinger”.

The sleek silver motor is sure to be hotly pursued, by wealthy collectors presumably who can afford the £4 million price tag with rather interesting modifications. This spectacular authentic Bond car is “factory fitted with the full complement of operational Q-Branch gadgets, including machine guns, bullet-proof shield, revolving number plates, tracking device, removable roof panel, oil slick sprayer, nail spreader and smoke screen”, according to PistonHeads.com . Not bad for a former James Bond accessory.

This DB5 is the Real McCoy, unlike the common replicas produced to mirror the beauty and magnificence of this particular model, which is why it deserves its pricey label. “There surely cannot be a cooler car in the world”, are the words of a member of staff from the RM auction house, which is why this vintage motor is expected to appeal to both “classic car collectors and wealthy people who like collecting iconic items”, reports the Times Live website.  Read more...
