James Bond Goldfinger DB5 Ejector Seat Button Prop Replica

The latest 007Store exclusive will have Bond fans jump out of their seats: the James Bond Goldfinger DB5 Ejector Seat Button Prop Replica.

This is a replica of the iconic Aston Martin gearshift stick with a flip-top concealing the button to activate the passenger ejector seat.

Each is numbered and part of a series of just 1,964, a reference to the year that Goldfinger was released, the movie in which the Aston Martin DB5 and the ejector sear gadget was first seen.

About the prop

Originally conceived by longtime Bond Production Designer, Ken Adam, for the movie Goldfinger (1964), the original prop was crafted using a combination of found-parts and specially machined components. It did not function, it was purely cosmetic.

The same prop was recreated for 2012’s SkyFall. for the scene in which Bond and M escape Silva in London and Bond threatens M jokingly that he will eject her if she keeps complaining about the DB5's stiff ride.

It's all in the details

This replica has been copied from surviving material in the EON Productions Archive. The knob is crafted of aluminum and resin. It’s flip-up lid features a magnetic closure and a red momentary switch has been used for the famous button. Each replica is permanently mounted on a display stand printed with Goldfinger and Aston Martin logos and the number plate of the car. Packaged in a gift box with a numbered certificate of authenticity booklet.

Note that although the button delivers a satisfying ‘click’, the replica does not activate an ejector seat and will not rid you of any unwanted passengers!
