1964 ASTON MARTIN DB5 ‘THE REAL JAMES BOND MOVIE CAR’
RM Auctions is proud to represent the one of only two - and only known remaining - original 007 Aston Martin DB5 movie car at its October 27, 2010 'Automobiles of London' auction at Battersea Evolution, London, UK.
Two Aston Martin DB5s were used on screen for the production of the timeless 1960’s James Bond classics, Goldfinger and Thunderball. One of those two cars was reported stolen in 1997 and is believed to have been destroyed. The other is FMP 7B
The car was sold in 1969 to American Mr. Jerry Lee – FMP 7B’s first ex-factory and owner to this day, Mr. Lee pursued FMP 7B and eventually negotiated its purchase from the Aston Martin factory for $12,000
Estimated to raise considerably more than that at a cool £4-5 million, the proceeds of the sale will be used to further the charitable work of ‘The Jerry Lee foundation’, a multi-national initiative dedicated to solving social problems associated with poverty, with an emphasis on crime prevention.
Aston Workshop are the world leaders in the sale & restoration of all Aston Martin models.
In our showroom at the moment is this lovely DB5, no ejector seat, but that may be no bad thing!
