Aston Martin DB5 – Hotel Belvédère, Davos

Artist: Charles Avalon

‘’Do you expect me to talk?’’: 1964’s ‘Goldfinger’, the third film in the James Bond series, saw the introduction of a new gadget-laden car for Bond – the Aston Martin DB5, signalling the start of a relationship which spans eleven Bond films and nearly five decades of cinema history. Fifty years on, people still talk about the iconic car chase between Bond and Tilly Masterson in Goldfinger. Pictured here outside the Hotel Belvedere in the Swiss Alps (with Tilly’s Mustang in the background), the Aston Martin DB5 is without doubt the most famous James Bond car. The actual car used in Goldfinger and Thunderball, was sold in 2010 by RM Auctions for an impressive £2.6 million.
