A US radio broadcaster Jerry Lee who bought an Aston Martin DB5 for $12,000 back in the day, now intends to sell the car, once driven by the famous James Bond in movies like Goldfinger (1964) and Thunderball (1965), through the RM Auctions group. And he is expecting to fetch a minimum of £3.5 million. The auction is slated for October 27, 2010. Jerry will use the proceeds of this auction for the Jerry Lee foundation which is an initiative dedicated to solving poverty related concerns. Though a 1964 model, the DB5 is still a great attraction as it features a bullet-proof windscreen, machine guns, revolving number plates, a passenger ejector seat and even an oil sprayer.

I want it!! An all time classic and the epitome of ’60s cool. And because the ’60s is the coolest decade, that makes this the ultimate epitome of cool. Easily worth £3.5m.
