New to pre-order Corgi CC04315 James Bond 007 – Aston Martin DB5 – Casino Royale (20th Anniversary) Model Car
Originally won by 007 in a not-so-friendly game of poker from Alex Dimitrios in Casino Royale, this left-hand drive incarnation of the Aston Martin DB5 features a unique blue and yellow registration plate from the capital city of the Bahamas, Nassau.
One of the most famous cars in the world thanks to its association with James Bond, the Aston Martin DB5 was first released in 1963. A luxury grand tourer built for long distance yet high speed driving, the car was evolved from the Aston Martin DB4 Series V with the addition of a new and more powerful engine constructed entirely from aluminium.
Featuring a now modest top speed of 145mph, the DB5 boasted a luxurious interior including wool pile carpets, leather reclining seats and even a fire extinguisher. Over one thousand cars were originally produced between 1963 and 1965, with an additional twenty-five going into production in 2020 as special edition James Bond releases, each costing £2.75m.
