Aston Martin is Re-Making James Bond's DB5

Thought it was interesting enough to share here.

I live about 600 yards from the factory (original one where these are being built) hoping to get to see one.

Here's my newest purchase "dumped" there the other day.

One of the original cars was sold in May I think. Do you think the re-edition will hurt the value of the original ones?

Yeh, AMW have about 6-7 DB5 in the showroom at the moment, all like £700,000 +

I did pop in for a test drive, they will let you drive anything, but the DB5/4 etc.

Awesome. AM is embracing the factory remake much like omega does with speedys.

I wish I had the mind to acquire a DB5 before they went vertical. Gorgeous design.

Super cool, although I wouldn't know what to do with it since it's not road legal

Love the styling on this car. Love AM in general. LOL, I can see this conversation with the wife...I want this car, but I cannot drive it on the street. Only costs 3.5 million.
