Aston Martin DB5, 1963. This week marks 60 years since the introduction of the DB5. Making its official public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1963 the newcomer featured several design, technical and equipment changes over its predecessor – most notably a major engine development delivering more power

Aston Martin DB5

The plus ultra of James Bond’s automobiles, the Aston Martin DB5 was introduced in 1964’s Goldfinger, and came equipped with all the extras a spy could ask for—including rotating license plates, machine guns, a radarscope, and of course, an ejector seat. To show how far product placement in the movies has come, Aston Martin owner David Brown (the “DB” in DB5) originally asked the film’s producers to pay to use the car because he didn’t want to damage a £4,500 vehicle. Though destroyed in Goldfinger, the car lived more than once in Bond films—it most recently made a cheeky cameo in Casino Royale, when Daniel Craig’s 007 wins a 1963 Aston Martin DB5 in a poker game. The classic car also was appeared in the 23rd Bond movie, Skyfall 2012.

This was at the works Newport Pagnell. A real replica of the Goldfinger DB5.

Iconic Aston Martin DB5 Turns 60 !

Is there a more famous car on the planet? The tifosi may proffer a scarlet Ferrari, Brits may suggest the Mini and the French will surely put forward a 2CV or similar. But for many, the Aston Martin DB5 is the most famous car of all, spilling from popular culture into mainstream consciousness.

We’ll even allow the use of the overused epithet ‘iconic’ to describe James Bond’s most memorable transport.

The two-doors coupe was first shown at the 1963 Frankfurt motor show, a point not lost on us as we return from this autumn’s Munich Motoe Show, the German salon’s successor. It must’ve been one helluva show six decades ago; the Porsche 911 was also unleashed to the world at the IAA that same year.

In all, a mere 887 coupes, 123 convertibles, and 12 shooting brakes were built. Even by the standards of the day, the numbers were tiny, especially considering total U.K. car production in 1963 alone was more than 1.8 million units, according to Aston Martin.
