You're right, his current car is "way newer" but this is the classic Bond car, it will never vanish from the Bond franchise unlike those horrible double breasted suits and the annoying limitless actor change of Blofeld. But back to the car, There is a very, very wonderful spot of the DB5 and a 21st century version of it on You Tube made by the amazing Top Gear.

Another interesting bit of info about the DB5...the 007 producers told Aston Martin they wanted to use this $12,500 car in Goldfinger in 1963 and they were hoping AM would supply them with one. The response the producers got from AM was something along the lines of "That sounds good and for $12,500 you can have one." This dissapointed the 007 crew and for the longest time, they went back and forth trying to decide if they should spend that much of their small production allowance on one but thankfully they did.

One last unfortunate bit of information. In 1986, Anthony Pugliese bought Bond's DB5 at an auction for $275,000. In 1997, the car was stolen and no one has seen it since. The one we saw in Casino Royale was sadly never driven by Connery. So now, Bond's original DB5 could be sitting in some drug dealers garage in some South American country, some dictator's driveway in a sandly Middle Eastern country, or in a scrap yard in Alabama...who knows.
