Aston Martin DB5, the car Q gave to James Bond (Sean Connery) to carry out his mission in Goldfinger (1964). There were three of these promotional press cars of which 2 survived. They were all made in the Aston Martin factory.
The original car, with gadgets, had a life of its own. After the film was finished, the car went back to the factory and all the gadgets were removed. Then it was sold to a collector Gavin Keysar who refitted all the gadgets and sold it to a jewler named Richard Losee who held on to it for 15 years. In 1986 it was sold again for $250,000 at a New York auction after which the car appeared in some car shows and Bond events. In 1997 the car was stolen from a hangar in Florida and lost for 25 years until the icon was reportedly found somewhere in the Far East in 2021. Yeah, kinda wishful thinking I suppose, since we haven't heard anything about it since then…
