Arguably the most famous car in the world, James Bonds Aston Martin DB5 goes on sale for the first time in over 40 years.

Jerry Lee, an American radio broadcaster, picked the Aston up in '69 for $12,000 and it's expected to fetch $5 million USD this October! We don't know anyone in radio who could scratch that sort of cash together for a motor, maybe Israel Folau will put in a bid once he works out how to hold an AFL footy?

The Aston comes complete with ‘Q-Branch’ gadgets, including machine guns, bullet-proof shield, revolving number plates, tracking device, removable roof panel, oil slick sprayer, nail spreader and smoke screen, all controlled from factory installed toggles and switches hidden in the centre arm-rest.

Legendary pantsman Sean Connery drove the Aston in Goldfinger and Thunderball.

    The best line has to be when JB tells the baddie his name and is told ''Names are for tombstones baby''
