This car needs little introduction. Fitted with machine guns, radar, a rear bullet shield and that famous ejector seat, it is still the most famous piece of hardware in the Bond armoury. In Goldfinger, the DB5 expires against a brick wall after an exciting tear-up with a brace of black Mercedes 220 saloons, but it is revived for a brief appearance in Thunderball, where it blasts baddies with a powerful jet of water in the pre-title sequence. Four Bond DB5s were built, two for filming and two for promotional work.
