I got this video sent to me yesterday from an “Oldie” who is 90 and it turned out be very worthwhile. It was new to me, but it was a visit to Aston Martin to see the build of 25x DB5 James Bond “Goldfinger” Models from the 60’s. Now if you are into Detailing take your time and watch these Specialists Hand Working the shape of the Aston. Very Nice and well worth a look at - Dave 😁

I'd expect to be way out of date on this because all the BBC and its other matey channels repetitively pump out old programmes. Current Top Gear is not very good and they are beginning to repeat that.

Shall I repeat the above again.....its freaking terrible really.

Well OK the price is a little high for a Full Size Version but what about one of these to “Play” with for £54K - Dave 👍😁

“Aston Martin and The Little Car Company have revealed the DB5 Junior, a two-thirds scale electric junior car. At around 3m long, and 1.1m wide, the DB5 Junior is designed to easily accommodate an adult and a child side by side. The aluminium honeycomb chassis and composite body provide a very rigid platform whilst keeping the total weight down to around 270kg. Powered by a torque-laden electric powertrain delivering 5kW / 6.7 bhp to the rear wheels and can accelerate to the 30mph top speed.”
