AUTOart Aston Martin DB5 w. Weapons - Goldfinger 1:18

AUTOart 1:18 diecast composite model of James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger. The ‘Goldfinger’ Aston Martin DB5 is probably the most iconic vehicle ever to be featured on the large (or small) screen. It completely commands your attention from the moment Q introduces it to James Bond in the MI6 workshop to 007’s pursuit of Goldfinger in Geneva, his altercation with Tilly Masterson’s Ford Mustang and the thrilling sequence around the grounds of Goldfinger’s headquarters. AUTOart has produced the ‘Goldfinger’ Aston Martin DB5 before, of course, but this is without doubt the definitive version, which has been produced to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the film. As well as opening doors, bonnet and boot, all of the weapons concealed within Bond’s DB5 have also been recreated on this model. Starting from the front of the machine, you will find the rotating number plate, which of course also features at the rear. There are then the hidden machine guns behind the front indicator lights. Inside the cockpit, there is the removable passenger ejector seat (and corresponding removable roof panel). The radar tracker is on the centre console, along with the openable compartment between the front seats that houses the defence mechanism controls. There is even the hidden telephone in the driver’s door that didn’t end up getting any air time in the movie! Moving further along the vehicle, the rear wheels feature the extendable tyre-shredding spinners. The trusty bulletproof shield raises out of the boot. The boot also houses the reservoir for the rear oil spray device, the rear indicator lights folding down to reveal the outlet for this. As Desmond Llewellyn’s Q said in his final appearance in ‘The World Is Not Enough’, this replica is ‘fully loaded’!
