£25k Gold-Plated Aston Martin DB5 1:8 scale model
To celebrate 60 years of the movie Goldfinger, Agora Models offers a limited edition 24 ct gold-plated Goldfinger Aston Martin DB5 in 1:8 scale.
With just seven models being created, the car will come complete with some of Bond’s most famous gadgets, including functioning ejector seats and a revolving number plate.
The British car kit makers Agora have partnered with Eon Productions and Aston Martin to create this museum-quality 1:8 scale model kit.
The 24 ct gold DB5 car will be available as a self-build kit or complete model.
The model will feature an arsenal of functioning gadgets as designed by Q in Goldfinger: ejector seat with removal roof panel, twin front-mounted Browning machine guns, bulletproof screen, tyre slashers, oil slick jets, revolving number plates, gadget control panel, radar tracker screen, weapons tray, extending over-rider rams.
The gold-plated scale replica began with laser scanning of the original full-size Goldfinger car. Hundreds of photos were taken to capture every detail, including the engine, chassis, dashboard and gadgets. Up to 250 moulds were then created – each weighing well over a tonne – and painstakingly tested before final production began. The gold-plated body is made with 24 ct Fairmined gold worked by specialists in Birmingham’s jewellery quarter and each car is individually certificated.
Priced at £24,999 ($29,999; €29,999), the meticulously detailed 24 ct gold-plated model will be available to purchase exclusively through agoramodels.com on James Bond Day, October 5th, 2024.

At 1:8 scale, we can ensure the ingenious gadgets created by Q could be faithfully recreated, and function without compromising on the aesthetic appeal of a display model.
