It is undoubtedly one of the best-known movie cars of all time – and this despite the fact that it was a clear departure from Ian Fleming’s books and was not desired by the brand’s directors in the beginning. We are talking about the Aston Martin DB5, that served as a special vehicle for actor Sean Connery in the movie “James Bond 007 – Goldfinger”. The film company Eon Productions had written several requests to Aston Martin and finally got the opportunity to buy two old prototypes of the DB5 – product placement normally looks a little different. That this small cooperation would make for one of the most prestigious partnerships on the big screen wasn’t foreseeable in any sense in 1964.

One reason for this is probably the extensive additional equipment that was integrated in the film by Bond’s quartermaster Q and his team into the sports car. Whether machine guns behind the front indicators, rotatable license plates, retractable wheel locks for puncturing other tires, bulletproof protection behind the rear window, a fog machine, a navigation device with radar tracking function, car phone or an ejector co-driver-seat, it did not leave out anything. All these functions can now be found in a very special model, which you can assemble yourself: Lego puts the DB5 on an approximate scale of 1:8.<\/p>\n\n\n
