Mould King 27050 Aston Martin DB5 — Bond's Car, 348 Pieces

The Aston Martin DB5 is the most famous car in cinema history. When Sean Connery drove it in Goldfinger (1964) — complete with machine guns, tire slashers, and an ejector seat — it didn't just become James Bond's car; it became THE movie car. It has appeared in eight Bond films and counting. This 348-piece build captures the silver grand tourer that made an entire franchise.

The Real Machine

Beneath the spy gadgets, the DB5 was a genuinely impressive grand tourer. Its 4.0-liter aluminum inline-six produced 282 hp, good for 145 mph and elegant long-distance cruising. The body was designed by Carrozzeria Touring using their Superleggera ("super light") construction method: aluminum panels over a tubular framework. A ZF five-speed gearbox — unusual for a British GT in 1963 — provided smooth shifting. Production ran from 1963 to 1965 in limited numbers. But the DB5's real legacy is cultural: the hidden headlights, the racing gas cap, the chrome grille, and the silver paint became the visual language of British sophistication. No car before or since has been so perfectly cast in a role.

Design & Build

At 348 pieces with a stackable display case, this build captures the DB5's elegant proportions: the long hood, the chrome-accented grille, and the sculpted roofline that defines British grand touring. The silver color scheme directly references the Goldfinger car. Working steering and transparent windshield add interactive detail.

The Bottom Line

The DB5 is the car that proved a grand tourer could save the world — or at least look extraordinary while trying. Eight Bond films and sixty years later, it remains the definitive movie car. This 348-piece build captures the silver elegance that launched a franchise. The only thing missing is the ejector seat — but at this scale, your minifigures are probably safe.
