So what's so special about this JB007 1964 Aston Martin DB5. Flick through to get a closer look at this magnificent Bond car.

James Bond and Aston Martin has had a long lasting relationship.

The Aston Martin DB5 was first featured in Goldfinger the third film in the James Bond series which was released in 1964. The production car however had no special gadgets and was produced by Aston Martin from 1963 - 1965.

The JB007 Aston Martin DB5 was specially modified for Goldfinger.

Some of the notable exterior features came in the form of a working ejector seat, machine guns, tyre slashers, over-riders, tyre-slashers, bullet-proof shield and a tracking device.

The image featured here is the spring loaded bullet-proof screen.

Nowadays we are sure James Bond does not require these kind of features, as most action heroes can evade bullets now!

Get-out of the way, if not Bond's Aston Martin could do just that. The DB5 was fitted with specially modified over-riders that could become rams to shift any unwanted objects out of the way!

Here is a close-up view of the rear over-riders. If you look closely, you will also witness the dropping light assembly which was modified to release tyre stingers that incapacitated a pursuer.

Who ever said that Bond cannot fly? Sean Connery was one such Bond who could transform into Superman whenever he felt like. Jokes apart, the Bond car featured a specially modified ejector seat.

The ejector seat is activated by pushing down on the gear stick. The roof panel should be removed to prevent damage.

The real Bond car featured a pair of machine guns sliding out from the indicator lights.

Its clearly evident that James Bond is no superhero but a clear cut gadget hero.

Another classic feature is the retro style radio aerial which can be pulled out to its full height.

Here is an interesting fact with regards to aerials. The first aerial were built in 1988 by German physicist Heinrich Hertz. Okay let's get back on track with Bond's car .. click through the slides >
