NEW YORK CITY: A 1965 Aston Martin DB5 outfitted with special gadgets for James Bond, such as tire slashers, machine guns, and a bulletproof shield, will go up for auction in August, the auction house announced on Wednesday. The vehicle painted gray is expected to fetch between $4 million and $6 million, according to a statement from RM Sotheby’s. It includes 13 modifications created for Bond, including a Browning.30 caliber machine gun in each fender, tire slashers mounted on its wheel hubs and a bulletproof rear screen that can be raised and lowered. RM Sotheby’s said the Bond modifications had been “properly refurbished to function as originally built,” and has had three private owners over 50 years. The auction will take place on Aug. 15 in Monterey, California.
