It’s not particularly surprising that a 1965 Aston Martin DB5 Sports Saloon driven by James Bond is valuable, but what is surprising that out of all the Bonds it was driven by Pierce Brosnan.
Used in the opening sequence of GoldenEye this British icon was pitted against a Ferrari F355 driven by Famke Janssen through the streets of Monaco. The DB5 is no stranger to the Bond movie franchise having first appeared in Goldfinger in the mid-60s in place of the DB Mark III which would grace the pages of the novel.
This particular DB5 holds the “Guinness Book of World Records” for most valuable piece of Bond memorabilia setting the record when it was sold to its current owner in 2001. It will again seek a record setting price when it heads to auction at The Goodwood Festival of Speed Sale where it’s currently projected as high as $2.1 million.
