Aston Martin DB5 with Goldfinger Gadgets Offered by Tom Hartley Jnr
Prestige dealer Tom Hartley Jnr is currently presenting a 1964 Aston Martin DB5 that leans unapologetically into its cinematic legacy. More than just a period-correct grand tourer, this example has been retrofitted with a suite of Goldfinger-inspired features—an unmistakable homage to Goldfinger and the defining screen presence of Sean Connery.
Originally delivered in 1964 by Aston Martin agent Charles Sidney Ltd of Yorkshire, the car wears the iconic Silver Birch finish—the same colour that helped cement the DB5 as Bond’s mythic ride and the “most famous car in the world”.
Equipped with replica Q Branch enhancements, the car gives its owner a tangible slice of Bond nostalgia. While not identical to the film car in every mechanical detail, the spirit is unmistakable:
- Front-mounted machine guns (deployed from the grille rather than behind the headlights)
- Electronically operated rotating number plates at both front and rear
- Rear fluid dispersal system (non-functional oil slick simulation)
- Simulated rear bullet-resistant shield
- Central console-mounted controls for gadget activation
- Concealed door compartment designed to house a Walther PPK
- Simulated radar tracking display
- Left-hand drive conversion
There’s also a modern chapter to this car’s story. It was selected by EON Productions for the 2021 premiere of No Time to Die in Monaco—an official nod that reinforces its status as more than a replica curiosity.
Condition-wise, the car presents to a high standard, supported by a fully traceable service record. Over nearly three decades, its upkeep has been entrusted to marque specialists, with the most recent service completed in February 2026.
It is accompanied by an extensive history file, including documentation such as the original factory build record. What results is a compelling hybrid: a genuine 1964 DB5 at its core, layered with a later specification that channels the cinematic language of Bond—less museum piece, more rolling piece of film history.
