Goldfinger was the landmark third film in the James Bond series, whose script became a template for subsequent movies. Breaking box office records around the globe, Goldfinger was listed by The Guinness Book of World Records as the fastest grossing film of all time. It's phenomenal success was largely responsible for the boom in spy films in the 1960s. Dubbed 'the most famous car in the world', a modified Aston Martin DB5 featured in the film and the marque became closely linked with the James Bond franchise. Numerous other AM models have since been used, but the DB5 in silver birch is considered to be the quintessential vehicle associated with the character and has reappeared in Thunderball, Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies, Casino Royale, Skyfall, Spectre and No Time To Die.
