THESE are expensive to build:
1964 continuation Aston Martin "Goldfinger" DB5.
HAND FORMED aluminum body using original tools and jigs from '64
All-original tooling
All-original mechanicals (including the 290hp inline six)
ALL the Bond gadgets (well...no ejector seat...but the button is there and so's the off-center hole in the roof...and the machine guns behind the turn signals are fake...and the oil slick sprayers spray water...but the smoke generator makes real smoke and the battering ram bumpers actually work and the license plates actually rotate and there's an actual bulletproof shield that pops up out of the boot!).
Your average car takes about 20 hours to build.
A "handmade" exotic like a "normal" Aston Martin? About 250 hours.
These?
Forty-five hundred hours to build each one.
$3.5M each.
They've sold twenty five of 'em.
