AUTOart Aston Martin DB5 1964 - British Racing Green 1:18

AUTOart 1:18 diecast composite model of the 1964 Aston Martin DB5 in British Racing Green. The DB5 was produced from 1963 to 1965, and became a cultural icon after being featured in a couple of Sean Connery James Bond movies; particularly Goldfinger. An evolution of the final series of the DB4, it was designed by Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera. Principal differences between the DB5 and its predecessor were the all-aluminium engine, which was enlarged from 3.7 to 4.0 litres, a new ZF five-speed transmission which was more robust than the earlier David Brown unit, and three SU carburettors. The engine produced 282 bhp, which was able to propel the car to 145 mph. Standard features on the DB5 included reclining seats, wool pile carpets, electric windows, twin fuel tanks, chrome wire wheels, oil cooler, full leather trim in the cabin and a fire extinguisher. All models had two doors and a 2+2 seating configuration.
