James Bond Goldfinger Temperature Gauge from Bond's Aston Martin DB5....

Description

James Bond Goldfinger Temperature Gauge from Bond's Aston Martin DB5. The Aston Martin DB series became inextricably tied to Agent 007 when he drove a DB III in the novel Goldfinger; this was updated to a DB5 for the 1964 movie version, and the car quickly became Bond's signature set of wheels. This small temperature gauge is one of only a handful of items from that automobile available to the public, as the car itself was stolen from an airplane hangar in Boca Raton in 1997, and has yet to be recovered. The 2" gauge is in Excellent condition, and is matted along with miniature reproductions of vintage movie posters for the film, as well as b&w and color photos featuring the car (it is readily visible on the glove box lid in two of them) in a 30" x 33" display. From the Ian Fleming Foundation Archive. Requires third party shipping.
