DB5 Goldfinger Continuation …
Apr 14, 2022,08:57 AM
I had the pleasure of visiting AM to see the cars under construction.
Each car takes approximately 4500 hours to construct, using body panels from original pressings. The 4.0-litre 290bhp in-line six-cylinder engine has a few small tweaks to deal with modern fuel and is matched with a five-speed manual gearbox.
The final price for each car was £ £3.3 million
Because of the “Goldfinger” gadgets, the DB5 Goldfinger Continuation models are not road legal !

in terms of class and sophistication, and I'm saying this purely based on the car itself, I actually dislike the Bond franchise/connection........ Cheers, Filip

I totally forgot about that! Anyway, Barbara Broccoli and her Eon Productions company have held an 'iron fist' on the cinematic rights to use Astons in Bond franchise movies for quite a few decades now........ I acknowledge and appreciate the fact that th...

It's kept the brand alive. The company has been bankrupt 7 times! The previous CEO at the time told me at a Silicon Valley Power Breakfast, "7 times is the magic number, since we supply cars to 007!"
Hahaha xD

Indeed, I totally understand that, and frankly don't personally give a damn either way. My point being, I simply love when people truly understand and appreciate a product for what it inherently is, than just because some well known brand/person is being ...
Look at Ferrari buyers...

Almost all of those Ferrari buyers are buying it simply because they think it's the cool thing to do! Unfortunately, the car world will always be a place for poseurs. Even a drug dealer will have similar tastes for a fancy car as the most sophisticated an...

I would've loved to have visited that assembly line!
What a silly decision....
