Goldfinger: The Coolest Spy Gadgets in 007’s Curvy Aston Martin DB5

James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5 quickly established itself as the most famous car on Earth. Major Boothroyd - or Q, as he’s known in Goldfinger - offered 007 (Sean Connery an unforgettable introduction to the much-loved vehicle.

Sadly, the Goldfinger DB5 disappeared from a Florida airport hangar in 1997 in a mysterious whodunnit with more twists and turns than a Bond villain chase scene. The missing car is the focus of SPYSCAPE’s The Great James Bond Car Robbery podcast series, hosted by actress Elizabeth Hurley, which encourages listeners to help solve the mystery and, just maybe, claim the $100,000 finders fee along the way.

Luckily, Bond’s original DB5 gadget car is preserved on screen for movie-goers. Who could forget Q’s classic introduction? “You’ll be using this Aston Martin DB5 with modifications. Now, pay attention please. Windscreen - bulletproof. As are the side and the rear windows. Revolving number plates, naturally. Valid, all countries.” 

Well, not quite all countries. The DB5 had UK, French, and Swiss plates that allowed Bond to slip across borders without attracting attention.
