Any car buff will tell you that the real star of the movie "Goldfinger" was the Aston Martin DB5. It was the first DB5, a Silverbirch prototype, DP216. It would become the "most famous car in the world" recognized by people who didn't know Aston Martin from Dean Martin let alone David Brown. The DB5 was in production from 1963-1965 with 898 having been built. The nearly 3500 pound DB5, powered by a 4.0 litre, 6 cylinder engine, had a top speed in excess of 140mph.
