Aston Martin begins building DB5 Goldfinger Continuation Series

The Aston Martin DB5 from the James Bond movie Goldfinger is probably the most famous movie car of all-time. It’s certainly up there with other automotive legends of Hollywood. Actual DB5 models from the movie fetch millions at auction with the latest model sold last August getting nearly $6.4 million.


The success and status of the Aston Martin DB5 Goldfinger pushed Aston Martin to begin producing limited editions of the car. Production of the 28 exclusive DB5 Goldfinger continuation cars has begun in England.


The cars are being built at Aston Martin’s Newport Pagnell classic car centre. The former plant was used to build the original 898 Aston Martin DB5 models and many of the production techniques used on the original DB5s, like hammering and rolling body panels, are being used in the continuation cars.


Better yet, these special DB5 Goldfinger models will come with all the gadgets a British spy would need such as a rear smoke screen, a revolving license plate, oil slick delivery system, and machine guns that pop out the front. There’s even a radar screen inside. Selling price? About $3,3 million US.
