An iconic James Bond Aston Martin, complete with fully functioning gadgets, could be sold for up to £4.7million.
The 1965 DB5 has Browning machine guns, wheel-hub tyre-slashers, a bullet-proof screen and revolving licence plates.
Auctioneer RM Sotheby’s described the 007 showpiece as “the world’s most famous car”.
It added the vehicle, from the Goldfinger and Thunderball movies, is “a desirable acquisition for the marque collector or secret agent”.
More seriously, experts believe it could go for £3million to £4.7million.
Sean Connery, who played James Bond in both films, said: “These DB5s are amazing. I bought a fine one myself relatively recently.”
The gadgets, designed by special effects whizz John Stears in 1963, were put on two modified cars.
The success of Goldfinger saw DB5 sales surge to record levels.
The car is the star among 120 rare Aston Martins at a sale in Monterey, California, on August 15.
The car has had just three private owners over 50 years and will be sold after a full restoration of all its gadgets.
It will be the star attraction among 120 other rare Aston Martins at the sale in Monterey, California.
RM Sotheby's car specialist, Barney Ruprecht said: "No other car in history has played a more important leading role on film and in pop culture than the Aston Martin DB5.
"The DB5 is the iconic cornerstone of a marketing relationship that still exists to this day-with the model's collectable status rooted largely in its 007 fame-and we look forward to exciting car and film enthusiasts alike in the lead up to the auction.
"This is an unbelievably rare chance to play secret agent in a car that offers incredible performance and style in its own right and we're honoured to offer the Bond DB5 alongside our partners at Aston Martin."
