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”.

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.
