The limited edition models feature an array of functioning gadgets, as designed by film character Q in Goldfinger, such as an ejector seat, revolving number plates, a radar tracker screen, tyre slashers and twin front-mounted Browning machine guns. There are only seven car models available with each being numbered 001 through to 007 and they will be available to purchase on October 5, which marks James Bond Day, each costing £24,999. The miniature cars were created by British car kit makers Agora Models to celebrate 60 years since the Goldfinger film was released.
James Franks, one of the founders of Agora Models told the PA news agency: “We wanted to celebrate the 60th anniversary movie with a very special model. “We took the DB5 from our range and created this ultra-luxury model kit, which is something as founder I’ve always wanted to do, make something really special.” The model weighs around 7kg and measures 569mm by 211mm by 173mm and will be available to purchase as a complete model or self-build kit.
Clare Foltynie, also a founder of Agora Models, told PA creating the limited edition models is “a dream come true”. “It’s just a dream come true to have such a beautiful luxury edition of this stunning, iconic vehicle, something that we’ve always dreamed of doing, and to be here in all the glitz and the glamour and enjoying all the sparkle and the celebrations that revolve around this brand is just an absolute dream come true,” she said. She added that.
