London, Oct 28 : A silver Aston Martin DB5 sports car driven by Sean Connery in the 1964 James Bond film ‘Goldfinger’ sold for 2.6 million pounds (4.1 million dollars) at an auction Wednesday.

The Aston Martin specially outfitted for the world’s most famous spy was the star attraction at a classic car auction in London that also saw rocker Rod Stewart’s Lamborghini sell for 600,000 pounds (USD 946,000).

Auctioneer Peter Haynes had earlier estimated the Bond supercar could have snagged as much as 3.5 million pounds (USD 5.5 million).
