That would be the most ever paid for a vehicle from a film, it said.<\/p>\n<p>The DB5 is one of two originals featured on screen in the two Bond films, RM said. The other, sold twice at auction, was stolen in 1997 from an airport in Florida, and never recovered.<\/p>\n<p>The remaining DB5 is being sold by Philadelphia-based radio broadcaster Jerry Lee, who bought it for $12,000 in 1969. Proceeds will go towards The Jerry Lee Foundation, an organisation dedicated to solving social problems.<\/p>\n<p>(Reporting by Helen Massy-Beresford; Additional Reporting by Gilles Guillaume, editing by Paul Casciato)<\/p>\n<iframe id=\"basic_facebook_social_plugins_likebutton\" src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.moviepropcollectors.com%2Fmagazine%2Foriginal-goldfinger-james-bond-aston-martin-coming-to-auction%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=&amp;action=like&amp;font=arial&amp;colorscheme=light\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:px; height:25px\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 The Aston Martin from the James Bond\u00a0film, Goldfinger\u00a0is coming to auction next month via RM Auctions\u00a0and Sotheby&#8217;s.
