Spy car from Bond movies nets $2.1 million at auction

One of the Aston Martin spy cars from the James Bond movies "Thunderball" and "Goldfinger" has been sold for $2.1 million at a vintage cars auction in Phoenix.

The winning bidder for the 1965 Aston Martin DB5 was not identified by RM Auctions officials.

The vehicle was one of four built for 1964's "Goldfinger" and 1965's "Thunderball," as well as promotional tours. The auction car was primarily used for promotion.

Some of the special options on the Aston Martin include replica machine guns, a wheel-mounted tire slasher, a retractable rear bulletproof screen, an oil slick ejector and a smoke screen system.

It was one of several celebrity automobiles offered by Tennessee's Smoky Mountain Car Museum, which has had it on display since the late 1970s.
