Return of the Ashton Martin DB5 from Goldfinger

GordoLeiter

Anyone else excited that the classic DB5 is making a comeback in Skyfall? Im just keeping my fingers crossed that the gadgets are still there. (Since Q is back as well its a possibility)

I know I am! I'm really hoping for the gadgets as well.

Always good to see the DB5. However, I would guess it's not technically the DB5 from "Goldfinger".
Question is: which DB5 is it?

Some theories:

1) It's the DB5 that Bond won in CR which was actually a left hand drive car. Bond (or MI6) had the car shipped back to GB and converted to right hand drive.

2) It's a DB5 that was in Bond's family (maybe owned by his uncle or father) that Bond keeps stashed at Skyfall Lodge for weekend and holiday jaunts. With MI6 decimated, Bond's own DB5 is pressed into service maybe with a few added extras installed by "Q" while holed up at Skyfall with Bond and M.

3) Or origin or continuity be damned, a DB5 that belongs to Bond just happens to be stashed at Skyfall.

I'm sure JB has it stashed... but I think that's in London not Scotland as he drives M to "Skyfall" in it.

As for which it's meant to be, I doubt EON know. 8-)

I am pretty sure that this is suppost to be the same DB5 from Casino Royale converted to right hand drive.

The Domino Effect

Was "Ashton" Martin in the subject line a typo, or a reference to Sean Connery?

Well it's got a steel sunshine roof panel on the passenger side of the car & that's all you guys are getting apart from the fact that there is one 4,570 mm in length and one measuring 914mm in length
