James Bond Aston Martin DB5 Model Car - Goldfinger Edition - By AUTOart

Introducing the James Bond Aston Martin DB5 Model Car - Goldfinger Edition - By AUTOart, a precision 1:18 diecast composite model of the classic vehicle, fully-loaded with all gadgets and features. 

Backstory.  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 sequence around the grounds of Goldfinger’s headquarters, the gadget-laiden Aston Martin DB5 becomes a key character of the 007 story.

Details.  As well as opening doors, bonnet and boot, this 1:18 model has all the Q-Branch weapons concealed. With rotating number plate at front and rear, and hidden machine guns behind the front indicator lights. Inside the cockpit, find 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 defense mechanism controls. There is the hidden telephone in the driver’s door that didn’t end up getting any air time in the film. 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. 

The makers.  Established in 1998, AUTOart now has the largest range of scale 1:18 models, with more than two thousand items developed to date. With its own dedicated factory, the company can ensure quality level is consistently high. The standard of the paint finish and the detailing of the steering wheels, brakes and other component parts are just some of the unique features of AUTOart models. Each model car involves the input of several hundred trained pairs of hands applying their skills throughout the production process.
