After "Goldfinger", James Bond again was the recipient of an Aston Martin DB5. Thie 1965 model, used in the Thunderball Mission, had a few different extras from Q Branch than the 1964 model had. After eluding guards for killing Colonel Bouvall and escaping on a jetpack, Bond used the DB5 as a getaway vehicle. It is at this time he uses the water jets and bulletproof shield to make a "clean" getaway. Bond also takes the car to Shrublands to keep an eye on Count Lippe at the spa and get some massaging done. Here, he discovers that Domino's brother, Francois, is dead. This DB5 isn't quite as revered as Goldfinger's, but it delivers terrific automotive flamboyance. It wouldn't be the last time 007 finds himself behind the wheel of an Aston Martin.
