A one-off example of Aston Martin’s special DB12 series — the Goldfinger 007 Edition marked 0/60 — is set to appear at auction with proceeds going entirely to charity.

Never registered and originally reserved for EON Productions, this final car from a fully sold-out run combines cinematic heritage with contemporary engineering and will be offered through Christie’s in partnership with Amazon MGM Studios.

Proceeds supporting fou arts and youth causes

The full auction haul will be donated to four charities selected by Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli: Into Film, National Youth Theatre of Great Britain, The London Screen Academy and UK Time’s Up.
It’s an opportunity for collectors to secure a rare automotive artefact while backing organisations that support young talent and the arts.

Performance and Engineering

The DB12 Goldfinger Edition pairs refined grand-tourer comfort with high-end performance. Key mechanical highlights include a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 rated at approximately 680 hp and about 800 Nm of torque, routed through an eight-speed automatic.ù

An aluminium monocoque delivers a lightweight but stiff structure tuned for dynamic balance and everyday usability.

Though modern in its silhouette, this anniversary DB12 deliberately references the DB5 era. Bespoke touches created for the Goldfinger release include:

  • Gold-finished side vents commemorating the film’s 60th anniversary
  • A subtle “Q” badge on the flank as a nod to the gadget master
  • Sport Plus seats in quilted leather patterned after Sean Connery’s Prince of Wales check
  • Interior accents plated in 18-carat gold, including the drive-mode selector and a shifter inspired by Bond’s gadgets
  • An embroidered eight of hearts on the driver’s sun visor referencing the film’s Miami pool scene

A Curated Collector’s Pack

The buyer will receive an extensive collectors’ package assembled for this sale:

  • Signed 60th-anniversary Goldfinger poster
  • Signed copy of James Bond Cars (Assouline, 2025) with an inscription by Chris Corbould
  • Exclusive 007 DB12 brochure signed by the producers
  • Globe-Trotter case with a gold-bar-style key, a scale model and a limited magazine
  • An original 35mm strip from Goldfinger plus facsimile script pages
  • Numbered magnum of Bollinger and four Bollinger 007 glasses in a Globe-Trotter cabin case
  • Custom car cover and a private handover at Aston Martin’s Gaydon headquarters
Since Goldfinger first paired 007 with an Aston Martin, the partnership has become an integral part of both cinema and motoring lore. This DB12 — the singular 0/60 example — celebrates that legacy while raising funds for organisations that nurture future creatives.

For collectors, enthusiasts and Bond fans alike, the auction transforms a rare automobile into a vehicle for cultural support.
