    The craftsmanship is simply amazing. The fact it is truly handbuilt and amount of time to construct each is jawdropping. Some consider this folly, but it gives work to old craftsman and incentive to continue this work, while also creating additional stock of parts. I went into this out of curiousity about how and why Aston-Martin did this, and honestly (as if it makes any difference), I approve!

    Wow, what a car! I remember the movie "Goldfinger" so well even though I saw it for the first time when it was just released at a theater in 1965. (If you're wondering HOW that long ago, I just turned 69!) I was just a kid but it made an impression on me. I've seen bits and pieces of it since played on TV. Incidentally, I caught the right headlight assembly on what is probably a '58-60 Imperial in the right background at about 1:32 to 1:35. My uncle had a bright new '57 . One can tell the '57's b/c it was the last year in which automakers used a single headlight on each side. He had a '57. I almost ran down the battery playing with the electric windows! I was fascinated with electric windows. We have home movies of the car when my aunt and uncle were driving up to my grandmother's house. My uncle Johnny was so proud of that car.

    When I was 10 living in West Vancouver a few blocks from my house a restaurant called Frank Baker's the Attic displayed one of the original DB5 prototypes outside in glass display case. My friends and I were down there often smudging the glass with our dirty hand prints ogling that car. That was the car that made me automotive nut and a life long Bond Fan...Thx for the memories Jay

      @@hagestad in Goldfinger Fleming describes the car thus "The car was from the pool. Bond had been offered the Aston Martin or a Jaguar 3.4. He had taken the DB III. Either of the cars would have suited his cover - well-to-do, rather adventurous young man with a taste for the good, fast things of life. But the DB III had the advantage of an up-to-date triptyque, an inconspicuous colour - battleship grey - and certain extras which might or might not come in handy. These included switches to alter the type and colour of Bond's front and rear lights if he was following or being followed at night, reinforced steel bumpers, fore and aft, in case he needed to ram, a long-barreled Colt .45 in a trick compartment under the driver's seat, a radio pick-up tuned to receive an apparatus called the Homer, and plenty of concealed space that would fox most Customs men."[1]

    If you love this DB5, and who doesn't, the new movie will blow you away as it did me. For me it was the best part but I got motor oil in my veins. Not to give anything away but just imagine drifting a DB5 on narrow mountain roads amongst the most beautiful scenery on the planet. Evading the enemy and smashing away into the middle of a classic ancient city. Then have you ever imagined what a V-22 Talon can do when it drops down just above ground and does 360's (donuts) with electric Gatling guns at full tilt. Cuts down everything around it. Just breathtaking and fantastic. Have to see this many times more. They did the cars so muuch better than any bond film ever made. No fake flips like in Casino - so regrettable. The cruise to Skyfall was monumental I must say to be fair, but this one is over the top cool!!!!
