Aston Martin recently released a sweet treat for all James Bond fans - the James Bond Aston Martin DB5 Goldfinger Continuation, which was built with various gadgets that were almost identical to the original ones from the film.
And, one lucky fan has managed to get their hands on this memento for an eye-watering £2.92 million! Watch our James Bond Aston Martin DB5 Goldfinger Continuation walkthrough below, or head over to Facebook.
Another lucky fan bought the Triumph Scrambler stunt motorcycle which was featured in No Time to Die for a whopping £138,600.

Move over Daniel Craig, there’s a new James Bond in town

As James Bond completed 60 years since its debut, the London-based Christie’s charity auctioned various Bond memorabilia including the DB5 from Goldfinger and the Triumph Scrambler from No Time to Die.
While the James Bond Aston Martin DB5 Goldfinger Continuation and the Triumph Scrambler have been bagged by whom we can only imagine as superfans, there is the Bond Edition Triumph Lion 800 up for grabs on Auto Trader!

Living the Bond dream

Picture this, you’re chasing Goldfinger from England to Switzerland with the iconic James Bond Aston Martin revolving number plates. The locator screen tells you that Goldfinger and his sidekick Oddjob are just a mile away; well, the locator screen doesn’t actually work but then again, your wits and instincts are enough to keep you on the right track. The minute you spot them, you fire the machine guns at the front (which are not real of course, but the sound is terrifying enough)!
You finish off the job with the rear smoke screen or as we like to call it — hater repellent. Sounds too good to be true? Check out our walkthrough video of the James Bond Aston Martin DB5 Continuation to see all the gadgets come to life.

For your eyes only

While we would love to parade around in this James Bond Aston Martin and play the classic Casino Royale theme song, sadly this lethal weapon is not road legal. We suspect the gadgets have something to do with it though perhaps best not to rule out that it could be a calculated move by a new Bond villain…

Other James Bond cars you can get your hands on

2. Audi RS6

James Bond used an ‘Exclusiv’ model of Audi Quattro, the most expensive Audi produced back in 1987, in ‘The Living Daylights’.

We can easily picture the new James Bond driving around in its modern equivalent, Audi RS6.
