JAMES Bond's 1964 Aston Martin DB5, dubbed by auto auctioneers RM Auctions yesterday as the "world's most famous car," will go under the hammer in London in October and is expected to fetch over US$5 million.
It is the first time the distinctive silver-colored car has been available to the public to buy.
It is one of two, and the sole remaining, of the original "007" DB5s that appeared on screen with Sean Connery behind the wheel in "Goldfinger" and "Thunderball," RM Auctions said in a statement.
The model comes complete with its "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.
Several of the gadgets work, although the guns are not real.
