SEE: Aston Martin, Lotus, BMW... Which of James Bond's incredible gadget-packed rides had the most screen time?

Earlier in July, potential buyers had the chance to see James Bond's original 1965 Aston Martin DB5 at Sotheby's auctioneers in New York City. 

In August, the gadget-filled car used in the James Bond movies Goldfinger and Thunderball is up for auction by Sothebys.

The auction house expects the Aston Martin DB5 could fetch $6-million.

The vehicle has 13 gadgets, including a nail dispenser to puncture the tires of pursuing vehicles, retractable machine guns in the front and a switch that alternates the license plate between Switzerland, Great Britain and France.
