24 Carat Gold For Goldfinger

As part of the Goldfinger anniversary celebrations, British car kit makers Agora Models announce a precious 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 007’s most famous gadgets, including functioning ejector seat and revolving number plate.

Made in collaboration with Eon Productions and Aston Martin, the meticulously detailed car will be available as a luxury self-build kit or complete model. 

The replica began with laser scanning of the original full-size Goldfinger car with hundreds of photos 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.

Discover an arsenal of functioning gadgets as designed by Q: ejector seat with removable 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.

Priced at £24,999 ($29,999; €29,999), the 24 ct gold model is currently on display at The 007, Burlington Mayfair and available to view at agoramodels.com. Due to a high volume of interest, Agora has a special ordering system with successful purchasers being notified from 5 October 2024, James Bond Day. Find full details on their website here.
