James Bond's 1964 Aston Martin DB5 is expected to top $5 Million at auction. The legendary Aston Martin DB5 that Sean Connery's 007 used in Goldfinger and Thunderball will be up for auction.
Equipment as it should be: a rotating drum with license plates of all countries, armored windows in a circle, a tracking monitor on the dashboard with a range of 150 miles, a special retractable cutter for cutting the wheels of enemy vehicles, a chair with a catapult to get rid of uninvited guests, machine guns in the wings, a smoke screen, a stern bulletproof shield and, finally, an oil sprinkler (almost like in the "Prisoner of the Caucasus").
The starting price is $5 million. True, the future owner will still have to buy a chilled bottle of Dom Perignon '53 separately. It is not included in the package.
2010 Update: Held October 27th in London, England. This event was best known for the sale of the Aston Martin DB5 from James Bond, which sold for £2,912,000 ($4,608,500 US).
