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.

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.
