"The name is Martin…Aston Martin..."Had the car been given a voice instead of the growl, Aston Martins would have delivered as charismatic a line as the super spy.
If there is one movie car which has the panache to take movie buff by the heart, then this is it - the Aston Martin DB5. The most recognized Bond car ever and a beauty from headlight to taillight, the car is a favourite with Bond movie directors. It has made appearances in Goldfinger, Thunderball, GoldenEye Tomorrow Never Dies and Casino Royale. While it was the Bond’s ride in the first two movies, the roles in the other three were guest appearances.
In Goldfinger and Thunderball, the audience was treated to a wide array of gadgetry which this car was home to. Revolving number plates, smoke screen, oil slick, armour plate to block bullets, ejector seat and the Benhur-inspired blades in the wheels which tore apart the tyres of the not-so-friendly road users were the jaw dropping then. The arrival of more advanced Bond cars haven’t stolen the DB5 of its position as the car which is as identifiable as Bond himself even decades after the first time it came on screen.
