The car is crashed in Goldfinger but later recovered and restored by Q, as the car appears again in Thunderball (1965). The DB5 caused a tremendous amount of talk, not only because of its timeless beauty but also because of those tempting gadgets that were fitted to it: oil spray, bullet proof shield, radar screen, revolving number plates, gun tray under driver's seat, tire slashers and of course the famous ejector seat with control button in the gear stick. In 1964, James Bond, then played by Sean Connery was introduced to his silver Aston Martin DB5 in the film Goldfinger.
