This Incredible Gold-Plated Aston Martin DB5 Model Just Set Someone Back £55k

So, you’re a big fan of the jaw-droppingly beautiful Aston Martin DB5, and you want to splash a little bit of cash to indulge your passion. Next to a real DB5, what’s the best way to do that? This 1/3 scale Goldfinger DB5 replica would fit the bill perfectly, we reckon. The 24-carat gold-plated model recently went under the hammer at a special online auction at the benefit of the NSPCC. Robert Tyrrell - a farmer and classic car collector from Oxfordshire - placed the winning bid of £55,000.

Built at Pinewood Studios, this incredible model Aston features radio controlled pop up machine guns, bullet-proof rear screen, and a revolving number plate, just like the DB5 from the classic James Bond film.
