Introduced at the 1963 Earls Court Motor Show, the DB5 was an obvious development of the DB4, featuring similar Touring-designed coachwork and an enlarged 4-litre update of Tadek Marek’s race- engineered aluminium engine. With 170 improvements over the preceding model, the DB5 was undoubtedly a superior driver’s car, and the company landed one of history’s most famous marketing coups when the DB5 was chosen as superspy James Bond’s transport for the 1964 film ‘Goldfinger’. With a modest production of 1,021 examples built through 1965, the DB5 has evolved into the marque’s most timeless classic, appealing to dedicated enthusiasts and casual observers alike. 55 years after the last new DB5 rolled elegantly off the production line at Aston Martin’s then global manufacturing base in Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire, work once again got under way at that very same illustrious location on a strictly limited number of new DB5 models. Created in association with the producers of the James Bond films, EON Productions, and featuring a broad suite of working gadgets first seen on screen in the 1964 film, Goldfinger. According to Aston Martin Works, “The meticulous DB5 Goldfinger Continuation construction process – which takes around 4,500 hours per car – is undertaken at Aston Martin’s globally renowned Heritage Division headquarters in Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire. Each of the 25 new cars is being built to the highest possible quality using a blend of Sir David Brown-era old world craftsmanship, with the sympathetic application of modern engineering advancements and performance enhancements, alongside the integration of cutting-edge gadgets developed in association with Chris Corbould OBE, the special effects supervisor who has worked on more than a dozen Bond films”. 2020 Aston Martin DB5 ‘Goldfinger Continuation’ LOT 221 More Details Lot 221 Bid On Lot 221 Estimate: $4,400,000 - $4,800,000
