Spy car for sale, smoke screen included

FOR sale: One slightly used motor car – two owners, one careful, the other an excitable spy with a licence to thrill/kill.

It comes complete with two machine guns, a bullet-proof shield, revolving number plates, smoke screen, nail spreader and tyre-shredding blades that emerge from the hubcaps.

In other words, the ultimate James Bond sports car – the Aston Martin DB5 driven by Sean Connery in the movies Goldfinger and Thunderball. It is up for sale for the first time in 40 years and is expected to fetch up to $5 million (€4m).
