Omg this is why I love your channel so much, the diversity of content. Ultra rare Italian cars, supercars, EVs, Unimog, van etc. The color combination is so beautiful! One detail that wouldn't surprise me is, white could show those beautiful lines under less light rather than dark colors during an auto show (only my guess) but this cat being the very car from the show feels special. I mean it survived until 2021. This is why I like cars, for their history too, it's like a piece of history. Thanks for sharing as always!

Aston Martin actually provided 2 cars for Goldfinger, one as you say was a DB4 Series V which was BMT216A (They kept the real number plate) and this was the car that was built for and shown at Earls court motor show essentially as an advertisement for the coming DB5. Originally it was red and it was seen in an episode of 'The Saint' called 'The Noble Sportsman'. This was the stunt car that was modified to include all the gadgets and later toured the World as the promotional car. The other car provided WAS a production DB5. Externally, the way to tell them apart in the films is that BMT216A had side indicators ahead of the vents.

@@GrandeCapo_PallaPesante Yes you are correct, the Bond car was a DB5, introduced in Sept 1963 at the Frankfurt Motor Show and by then, was almost entirely indistinguishable from a series 5 DB4 from the outside, apart from the DB5 badge at the base of the front wing. There were internal changes, and of course the engine size was increased from 3.7litre to 4.0litre and the DB5 retained the triple SU's of the Vantage-engined DB4 that it replaced.
