LONDON - James Bond's famous Aston Martin car was expected to raise over $5 million when it goes on sale Wednesday, complete with gadgets including ejector seat, nail spreader and revolving number plates.

The 1964 silver Aston Martin DB5 was driven by Sean Connery when he played the fictional British spy in the films "Goldfinger" (1964) and "Thunderball" (1965).

"This authentic Bond movie car is factory-fitted with the full complement of operational 'Q-Branch' gadgets," said RM Auctions ahead of the sale in London.

The car is also equipped with machine guns, bullet-proof shield, tracking device, removable roof panel, oil slick sprayer and smoke screen, all controlled by "toggles and switches hidden in the centre arm-rest."

The gear stick top flips up to reveal the red ejector seat button. It also has a homing radar and a telephone mounted inside the driver's door panel...

I would use it to exterminate people with subwoofers in their cars.

What a fabulously practical everyday use for it. :)
