I'm driving James Bond's Aston Martin DB5! This is the new DB5 Goldfinger Continuation being built by Aston Martin Works and featuring all the 007 gadgets from Q like the front machine guns, smoke and oil slicks, bullet proof shield and plenty more. Not only am I going to run you through everything it can do, but also experience what it's like to drive in the most iconic Bond car ever!
I remember being 13 years old and my mother dropping me off at the movie theater to go see diamonds are forever, by myself. I thought I was so cool. That was a long time ago. This car is too cool for school!
I came back from watching your "Adventures in the Shmeemobile 4" since it was in my recommended. Hard to believe how much has happened in 9 years for you.
I remember back in 1964 the original James Bond DB5 came to Nottingham and was on display in Truman's showroom on Huntingdon Street. I was 16/17 and went along with my camera. There was also a very nice model in a gold lame cat suit whom I took some photos of. I was also allowed to have a sit in the car. Happy memories.
This has to be the coolest and most beautiful car ever made, I really do think that more car companies need to modernize the old classics like this, surely this experience makes you want to add a vintage or a classic car to the shmeemobiles! Also does that mean there isn't one road legal version out of the 25? Such a shame
I am speechless WOW 4500 hours £2.5 million its the only car (DB5) THATS BUILT BY HAND AND EYE'S worth £2.5 million the most gorgeous car I've seen in a long time 👍 thank you Shmee made my evening 🇬🇧
Wow! The handcrafting is amazing. 4000 hours, no wonder the ownership price is so high. Nice to see that Aston Martin had the wherewithal to actually bring this model to fruition again. Beautiful car for a very fortunate few. As per usual, nice job Tim.👍👍
I was 11 years old when I first saw Goldfinger in the theatre. It's meaningful to see this when Sean Connery has just passed. I remember how excited I was to see that movie like it was yesterday.
What a beautiful car. Growing up until about 10 yrs ago we had a 1966 Triumph TR4a IRS. Dials and wheel look much like those! Loved driving that car! In HS it was really cool!
Wow! Simply Wow! What a machine! I worked for a little while in restoration of Alfa Romeo mainly GTV's and Giulia's and I can so appreciate how they're going about building these DB5's, they are truly doing these right. Well done!
Great video Shmee! I enjoy your style of cinematography. It is very personal, as if I was sitting with you. Some of the other You-tubers videos seem over produced by comparison. I have many fond memories of this car as I was five when the movie premiered. Thanks!
I had a Die Cast Model of this car in the 60's which most of the Q approved options were on it. My Grand Father worked for Austin it was, I believe it was a manufacturing promotional model. I believe it is still in storage in an attic on Prince Edward Island, Canada. Loved Q.
RIP Margaret Nolan, who played Dink in Goldfinger. A coincidence as she passed the same day as your review. She'll always be the 20 year old stunner and live on forever, as this movie never seems to lose popularity year after year.
Fantastic, what a superb creation. We are lucky that Aston Martin has the balls to do this , I bet they are all sold as well .I’m sorry Mr Schmee but this knocks spots off your collection of cars with perhaps the exception of your personal Aston Martin , thank you for a brilliant video ,really enjoyable 👍👍👍
They are quite industrial to drive actually - nothing like the silky smoothness you might imagine. However that’s part of the fun and character if you like. It’s always always going to bring a huge smile to you when you take it out in fact probably a permanent grin
Ahh that smoke screen isn't impressive. I owned a 1966 rambler. When we pulled into a service station, we would say, fill the oil and check the gas. Lol. Smee, great channel. Love the car.
Stoke park with a DB5 what’s not to like. Always wanted to visit. Such a shame you can’t drive them bar this one on the road,such and iconic and beautiful Car. I’d swap Tim’s entire Garage- no joke for that Car that was registered and able to drive on the road with that plate 👍.
Saw one of the versions used in the Bond films at a fair years ago here in the States. All the gadgets were present: tire slashers, ejector seat, battering ram, front-facing machine guns, etc; a remote-control to presumably activate those things was there for demo purposes, I believe. I would be perfectly happy with a stock DB5, sans gadgetry.
BEST...VIDEO...EVER!! Many times while watching your videos, I thought I’d like to trade places for a day, but never more so than this video! Tim, gotta get one for the garage! 😂
Tim, it's great to see how you drive thousands of cars as i was watching for 4 years by now, and a massive shoutout to the best automotive youtuber himself, i love your videos M8
The original DB5 prototype which was in reality a DB4 GT and driven by Sean Connery in Goldfinger was a 4 speed sans overdrive which was actually featured in an episode of the Saint. Initial run of the DB5 came with 4 speed with optional O/D.
