Ultra-rare Aston Martin with 007 gadgets including hidden GUNS, ejector seat button & radar tracker hits auction
AN incredible James Bond-style Aston Martin DB5 is set to hit auction - featuring a host of spy gadgets.
The legendary motor, famous for its appearances in the long-running series, is reminiscent of the original DB5 driven by Sean Connery in the 1964 film Goldfinger.
Known as the Continuation Goldfinger Edition, this DB5 - hand-crafted in 2021 and one of only 25 models manufactured - hits the auction block on November 14 in Zug, Switzerland.
Built for the ultimate Bond fan, the car is finished in Silver Birch and comes equipped with all the iconic Bond gadgets.
These include indicator lights that flip down to allow guns to slide out and ‘fire’, original number plates from Goldfinger that revolve via remote control, water spray from the rear lights that replaces the original oil slick delivery system, and metal screens that rise and lower from the boot.
There’s also an enemy-proof radar tracker and even the famous gear stick which flips open to reveal the red ‘eject’ button.

According to , the auction house running the sale, the Aston took 4,500 hours to complete at the famous Aston Martin Works factory in Newport Pagnell.
Crafted to exact original DB5 specifications, the car is sadly not street legal.
To that end, it boasts just 30 miles on the odometer since it was built in 2021, and reportedly fetched a price of £2.75 million plus taxes when new.
A guide price is unavailable with the car, but with three days remaining until the auction ends - the current bid at the time of writing is $401,000.
This comes just days after petrolheads with plenty of cash to spare were offered a collection of four incredibly rare Aston Martin sports cars.
The unique motors, which show off the iconic British brand’s collaboration with coachbuilders Zagato, are set to go under the hammer.
Elsewhere, a supercar graveyard discovered deep in a forest in China is littered with Bentleys, Porsches, and Aston Martins - all left abandoned.
What's worse is many of the exotic motors are seemingly brand new and have never been driven, much to the dismay of the visiting petrolheads filming for YouTube.
