	A very unusual DB5 was the "shooting brake" [[station wagon]], a dozen of which were produced by independent [[coachbuilder]], [[Harold Radford]]. A design flaw with the station wagon was that there was no change to the rear suspension. Drivers of the shooting brake would find this out when the load in the rear shifted at high speed in a corner with a resultant loss of control.

	* There are a number of "''Goldfinger''" Aston Martin DB5s - one of them actually started life as a DB4 Vantage. A new production DB5 was used for close up shots whereas the gadgetery was added to a prototype DB5 which had originally started life as the DB4 Vantage. After the film was made there were also a number of publicity DB5s. These can be identified as they have the DB5 badge on the sides whereas the cars in the film did not.		* There are a number of "''Goldfinger''" Aston Martin DB5s - one of them actually started life as a DB4 Vantage.
