When I was 7 years old my dad used to drop me off to school in an E-Type but there was a guy in the class who was the only Roman Catholic in the school and his dad turned up one day in a DB5 in the Bond colour. Being 7 I asked him about the machine guns and ejector seat etc and he played along with it with a dead straight face. When I got home I rushed to my mother and told her that when I grew up I was going to become a Roman Catholic, astonished she asked why? I replied 'because when you are a Roman Catholic you get a DB5 just like James Bond's!

With only 25 Aston Martin DB5 Goldfinger Continuation ever made and already spoken for, this is one of those rare occasions that Jay Leno can't buy the car even if he wanted it.

[@barryrudge1576]

In the mid 1970's I had a friend who did some wheeler dealing in cars including Porsche, Rolls Royce, E types (XKE's in the USA) Jensen Interceptors, Aston Martins and the like. I had the privilege to be able to drive them all. One day I went with him to purchase a used Aston Martin DB5 from a company director of a small firm. He paid £5k for it, nothing like the stratospheric prices of today. I borrowed it to collect my wife from work and as she got into the passenger seat. She said, "I don't like this much, it's a bit old fashioned" I was speechless, I said, "It' an Aston Martin" Some people never appreciate taste. The £5k he paid at the time would buy you a 3 bedroom semi detached house in the West Midlands, U.K.

[@deezematz]

I love how these manufacturers are reproducing these iconic cars. Like they did with the Daytona and I’m also with jay with driving old cars. Nostalgia, the look the feel of them. In my mind it takes you back to a time when these things were new and to have some if that feeling the new owner purchase one. I think of it as a time machine just taking you back to those days. No I would never own anything like this but any old car does it for me. I’m only 34 but I love history and this takes you there in some ways. At least mentally it does. I hope that the tradition stays in the hands of our youth working on these old cars and having someone that can still do it today and in the future. We have to keep passing down this knowledge to keep these things going. To keep them relevant instead of oh this is broken let’s just throw it out and get a new one mind set from happening entirely.
