el Aston Martin DB5 que Sean Conery utilizó en Goldfinger y Thunderball se subastara en RM Auctions, fue transformado por la propia marca inglesa en sus instalaciones de Gaydon por encargo de los estudios de cine EON, y fue vendido de nuevo a Aston Martin.
los gadgets que fueron incluidos en el vehículo (asiento del acompañante eyectable, ametralladoras delanteras...) logicamente no funcionan pero hacen de este ya de por sí exclusivo modelo, una pieza única.
el locutor de radio Jerry Lee, compró en 1969 el coche de nuevo a la compañía inglesa por 12.000 dólares y todo el paston que saque (se esperan unos 5.000.000$) va a ir a una fundacion benefica :xray:

James Bond’s Aston DB5 to be auctioned
007’s original Goldfinger Aston Martin DB5 set to go under the hammer in London.
It’s the ultimate Q car, and now one lucky fan will get the chance to own a piece of cinema history. The sole remaining Aston Martin DB5 which starred alongside Sean Connery in Thunderball and Goldfinger is set to go under the hammer at an exclusive auction to be held in London on 27th October.
Featuring the famous numberplate FMP 7B, the Aston is one of two built for James Bond’s on-screen appearances, and features the full suite of modifications fit for an international secret agent. The DB5 has machine guns, a bullet-proof shield, revolving number plates, an oil slick sprayer and, of course, a passenger ejector seat.
The Aston was bought from the factory in 1969 by American radio broadcaster Jerry Lee. He paid 12,000USD (£8,275) for the car, which he has kept in his collection ever since. It is due to be sold by RM Auctions at its Automobiles of London sale, and is expected to sell for at least £3.5million.
The proceeds will be donated to The Jerry Lee Foundation which is a national initiative dedicated to solving social problems associated with poverty, with an emphasis on crime prevention.
“The James Bond car has brought me much enjoyment for some 40 years,” said Jerry Lee. “Even as I sell it and use the proceeds to fund the Jerry Lee Foundation, the car will continue to give me great pleasure as it furthers the mission of the Foundation to do good around the world.”
