Me personally: BMW Z8 2CV Lotus Esprit Mercedes 600 (W100) any of the Rolls-Royce Toyota 2000GT (i just checked the list of cars 007 used in all of the films, and these arethose i would like to drive once and i doubt ever get a chance to do so for reasons...)
Hope you all enjoy this - what a fun day it was. The DB5 stunt car was utterly glorious; seriously quick, really oversteery (in a fun, classic car way) and with a sound that you would never get bored of. Much as I admire the original, the stunt car is the one I'd have.
100% it is. I have one and that's an m3 gear knob. Plus that engine sound is unmistakable because of the ITBs and that raspy noise. That engine in a 1000kg db bodyshell is absolutely amazing.
In the last video you were ging up a hilll in a Farrari 250, now you hoon about in various DB5's. As the saying goes "what a lucky boy". What a lucky audience too, thnak you.
Always interesting to see and hear the “behind the scenes” segments of these fantasy action films. So clearly illustrates the old saying, “don’t try this at home.” Kudos to those who make these films possible.
I've met Mark a few times during my years with the British Rally Championship, both him and his brother are really nice blokes, really knowledgeable and a good laugh.
Brilliant! Here is an idea; I wonder if the film companies will ever consider realeasing a complete chase sequence as originally intended, with all the cut bits reinstated, as a seperate entity on youtube. I'm sure we will all love to see that.
My dad owned a DB5 in the 60's.I remember how cool he was with my friends.I had to buy an Aston some day.Got a DB9 last year.He died before I bought it.He would have loved it.
A future show going into some technical details of these unique types of cars would be amazing. Alfaholics, comes to mind too. Or any other low volume/specialty cars.... keep up the great work!
I was about to comment about how upset I was it that the video wasn’t about the stunt car with the M3 engine in it, but then I watched the full thing and I am now fully satisfied 😁
Since age eight in '64 seeing Goldfinger with my parents I've been enamored of _this_ car. My younger brother, my parents and I saw the movie car at the World's Fair in NYC. A spokemodel in a red dress extolled the virtues of James Bond's Aston Martin DB5. My father filmed approximately thirty seconds of that portion of our day at the fair.
Excellente your commentary and your knowledge regarding all cars matched with your driving skills ....., just the perfect match for a perfect program. Thanks for sharing all the insight but moreover for your uncomplicated way of commentating and being so down to earth.
That was terrific! Thanks. I'm a huge Bond fan and this feature was fascinating. Note: I averted my eyes when the clips from NTTD were inserted. Cannot wait until November!
I was driven down to a Spanish marina in one of Bond cars (with the sat nav screens) when I was much much younger, the owner was an investment banker husband of my mum's colleagues (this DB5 was one of his holiday cars, kept abroad permanently). Sure, the lack of headrests (sounds weird to say, but really is one of the main things i remember) meant my brother could poke me in the head, but it really didn't matter: The car i was in was unimaginably special, and given that i was fairly young at the time as much as i loved it i wish I could have appreciated it more. Honestly ever since that day I have really struggled to come to terms with the fact that I will never get to another point in my life equal to those 20 minutes. I thought as I got older I would get over it more, but I genuinely am genuinely getting more and more unsatisfied with my life knowing that i will never experience that moment again. To my knowledge, he sold that car a few years back since it really needed some TLC that he wasn't prepared to get done himself, replaced with a Dino as of at least 2019 (presumably still owns that since Covid would have prevented him going to the car between 2020 and sometime during 2021).
DB5 -- one of my favorite screen cars. Ranks up there in my childhood with Batmobile 1966, Batmobile 1989, KITT/Knight 2000, and the General Lee. Definitely the Bond car and probably the most famous British-built car in screen history.
I can see the telephone ringing off the hook at Aston Martin with I want one of those. Nice driving BTW, loved the way you used the throttle mid corner.
Surely the people who built that DB5 replica body could just make a few more copies and place them on what I can imagine was an E46 M3 Chassis and sell them on what a masterpiece that would be
Yesss beautiful with the 'DB5' powered by BMW and all carbon fiber skin. Now that would be the ultimate sleeper. What was your name again? James, Carbon Fiber Bond.
That DB5 still could never be beat for my #1 favorite Bond car of All-time. Aston Martins have always been extremely well made. While in reality, it usually wasn't as fast accelerating as a Corvette, or the best of Porsches and Jaguars, it would make up for it will extra-fine quality and superior fit & finish. There have been few acceleration tests where the DB5s reached their potential with 0-60 mph in under 6 seconds. But there were also a lot of tests where they weren't much of sprinters and took the mid-8second range to do 0-60, probably because the wheels spun excessively costing them at least 2 full seconds. Well perhaps that could be fixed with a right set of tires. My dad has now collected his first Aston Martin, a 2007 Vantage V8 with a manual transmission. He says it's even more well made than a Mercedes Benz. I got a chance to drive it once and I can agree with him.
I think at 8:40 the stunt driver says that the chase in Quantum of Solace was hacked to death by some fucking jump cut happy editor. I couldn't agree more. That was the worst car chase in film history. A master class in how *not* to edit a car chase.
Which classic Bond Car would you want to take for a drive?
Me personally:
BMW Z8
2CV
Lotus Esprit
Mercedes 600 (W100)
any of the Rolls-Royce
Toyota 2000GT
(i just checked the list of cars 007 used in all of the films, and these arethose i would like to drive once and i doubt ever get a chance to do so for reasons...)
DBS from QoS for me please 😎
jaguar cx75
I’d have the V8 vantage from the living daylights over any other and 2nd, the lotus esprit from the spy who loved me
The Vanquish from Die Another Day. 💕
Hope you all enjoy this - what a fun day it was. The DB5 stunt car was utterly glorious; seriously quick, really oversteery (in a fun, classic car way) and with a sound that you would never get bored of. Much as I admire the original, the stunt car is the one I'd have.
Yeah it's class mate 👌
The moment you said that you won't be walking out of the beach in as Daniel Craig in Casino Royale style, I stopped watching
Mate!! Amazing video, looks like you had a great time. Thanks for keeping us entertained at home. Cheers!!
Hi Henry, Great video! One clarification, is the I6 in the stunt car a S54?? Sounds close but a bit hard to tell
@@dylondylondylondylondylon5 Thank you. Aston obviously wouldn't confirm, or open the bonnet, but you can be pretty sure it is.
Henry could easily play the role of Q in the next Bond
true, Henry is a bit young to be M, but I see Henry as a villain
@@valgehiir Na, Henry's to nice to be a Bond villain. Maybe a Bond Boy?? LMAO
Nah, more like moneypenny. 😂
True
I laughed when I read that then stopped; that's a great idea!
An extra bonus point for any video that features Mark Higgins. A certifiable loon with serious driving chops.
Love that Higgins basically says the Quantum car chase was ruined by ridiculous editing.
How about that 2016 TT lap in the WRX? Absolutely mental, I'd have been shitting myself in the passenger seat.
Incredibly skilled driver.
@@sixstringedthing I was just thinking the same thing.
I really don't miss Top Gear or the Grand Tour anymore. This tops them all.
Well done Mr C.
tops them so easily
Very kind. Thank you.
One of the best motoring journalists for sure! Love a Henry film
Henry's only competition is Harry, very different videos, these two are best on UA-cam or tv, no competition, really
Now that you've mentioned, you NEED to do a "Daniel Craig coming out of sea" intro for your next Aston Martin car review.
Would be absolutely hilarious! Must see....
That rolling shot at 0:20 is absolutely gorgeous. Massive kudos to your film guys - the production is tremendous.
My name is catchpole , Henry catchpole
Except not that great with women 😂
Henry.. you're the best..
Police. "License to kill Sir?" Henry. "errr no; license to drive though......."
Pure S54 music, in a light chassis all in the hands of a master wheelman and with a big screen movie franchise backdrop, what’s not to love here? 👍❤️
Henry Catchpole on Carfection, Harry Metcalfe of Harry's Garage. The best film motoring journalists by a country mile.
Haven't seen @HenryCatchpole smile so much in a while...
Henry is one of the few reasons I watch UA-cam
Henry in Bonds car.......doesn’t get any better 👌🏻👌🏻
Wow, that must have been a very special occasion for Henry to comb his hair! ;-)
I can't remember the last car test video I watched with a huge envious smile on my face and it was great to watch him enjoying the ride too.
Love the fact that you couldn't hear one word when Henry's driving the stunt car.
Another brilliant Carfection film.
any takers for this being an S54 from an E46 M3?
100% it is. I have one and that's an m3 gear knob. Plus that engine sound is unmistakable because of the ITBs and that raspy noise.
That engine in a 1000kg db bodyshell is absolutely amazing.
Haha yeah. It has the exact sound of an approaching vapeboi.
@@alert.272 this offended me so much as an e46 owner, I almost chocked on my vape
Yup
@@howarddavies136 I have a 330ci and I'm jealous
This is epic. Really epic. Thanks for bringing this video to us Henry!
More unbelievably cool content from Carfection. A 300bhp carbon fibre DB5 weighing 1000kg, with Mark Higgins wringing it's neck. Yes please gentlemen.
In the last video you were ging up a hilll in a Farrari 250, now you hoon about in various DB5's. As the saying goes "what a lucky boy". What a lucky audience too, thnak you.
Henry Catchpole, you lucky bugger :) That was brilliant 👍👍👍👍👍
We had a DB6 come in at work once for a carb tune up, it's the only car to ever make me emotional to look at, truly beautiful
Bravo Carfection and Henry...yet another spectacular film, what a car and what a sound!
Well done H, perfect car, lovely film.
Regards.
WF
Hope you guys are OK in the UK, love a video by the man/bean pole Henry
Man that S54 sounds fantastic! ;)
it could never have been a British engine..filming would have taken 5 years because of all the blown engines that needed replacing
Henry is the man forget James Bond, I'd rather watch Carfection that's for sure 👍
Thanks Henry!! Amazing video yet again
Never seen Henry smile more since he was in the singer....like a kid on Xmas day
What a beautiful, timeless car... Love the DB5!
Always interesting to see and hear the “behind the scenes” segments of these fantasy action films. So clearly illustrates the old saying, “don’t try this at home.” Kudos to those who make these films possible.
@10:10 that S54 is unmistakable out of the M3
That's because it is one. It's the only engine that fits inside the DB5 engine bay.
The sound of those engines - awesome. Love this episode.
I've met Mark a few times during my years with the British Rally Championship, both him and his brother are really nice blokes, really knowledgeable and a good laugh.
I don't know why i'm such a fan but i'm always so relieved to see Henry over any one else review a car.
Henry having fun, again. Nice one👍. My classic bond car, the Bentley from the original Casino Royal.
My favourite car, ever..... so happy to see this video
That engine sounds so good! I could listen to that all day!
I think I'm smiled watching this almost as much as Henry did making it. Great stuff team.
Brilliant! Here is an idea; I wonder if the film companies will ever consider realeasing a complete chase sequence as originally intended, with all the cut bits reinstated, as a seperate entity on youtube. I'm sure we will all love to see that.
This video was truly shaken not stirred Cheers!
Thank you for a relaxed interview
My dad owned a DB5 in the 60's.I remember how cool he was with my friends.I had to buy an Aston some day.Got a DB9 last year.He died before I bought it.He would have loved it.

Great video, thank you so much Carfection!! Gorgeous Aston Martin, it was very cool getting some of the behind the scenes info!
This is too cool. Amazing replica, very impressive.
Lovely, I want one of those stuntcars. Though the DB4 is better looking imo
Carfection videos are getting better and better, great intro thanks!
Discovered this channel a couple of days ago. Think I watched 10 reviews in a row, brilliant content! Keep it up the effort is much appreciated.

The inline 6 sound is amaaazing

Sir that was amazing.
Great review Henry, thanks
The captions at 3:06 are spot on.
What a brilliant car..can't wait more to see "No Time To Die".
DB5 -- one of my favorite screen cars. Ranks up there in my childhood with Batmobile 1966, Batmobile 1989, KITT/Knight 2000, and the General Lee.
Definitely the Bond car and probably the most famous British-built car in screen history.
thank you so much for this Henry
Always happy when Henry is the presenter! The other presenters are great too, but Mr. Catchpole is the best in the business!
Thanks very much for the video - gave me a lot of joy :)
Nobody does it better... than Henry.
I can see the telephone ringing off the hook at Aston Martin with I want one of those. Nice driving BTW, loved the way you used the throttle mid corner.

That BMW-powered carbon stunt car has gone right to the top of my wishlist. What a thing, got to be one of the most fun machines out there
Epic Henry and Carfection👌🏼👏🏼🙌🏼
It's a dream car for every bond fan!!!
Well this is my new favorite carfection video.
Still the old db5 handles like butter...wow...such brilliant engineering.
It is a classic British lightweight sports car.
@@bighands69 Yep...the build quality of the chasis is amazing.
That look on your face? That's what we in the States call an SEG! I had one just watching. Many, many thanks,
Another fine report...You are a very lucky man HC.
I, for one, would love to see Henry walk on the beach as Daniel Craig in Casino Royale, pretty sure I'm not the only one

2:56 Man, that BMW M3 E46 engine sounds glorious! 😍😍
Finally they melded together the two major Bond makes: Aston Martin and BMW.
Fabulous video! And thanks for the quip about Daniel Craig, absolutely hilarious 😂
The look on your face at 3:07 is exactly how my face would look if I had the chance to ride in the DB5 like that!
The engine in the stunt car seems to be coming from Bond Motorsport Wagen
Very good!
Very cool video! I would enjoy to drive the transformed DB5!!!
Loved the very last scene, because we all would if we were sitting there 😉
Stop putting James Bond Down,
He’s a legend
I think at 8:40 the stunt driver says that the chase in Quantum of Solace was hacked to death by some fucking jump cut happy editor. I couldn't agree more. That was the worst car chase in film history. A master class in how *not* to edit a car chase.
Henry Catchpole looks more Bond than any that have come before him! Nice one!
I was just thinking to myself "that chap looks like David Higgins"
Like a young George Lazenby (but with sideburns). Is Henry related to Giles Catchpole that writes for Trout and Salmon magazine?
I think you`re thinking of Simon Catchpole that writes for Hallibut and Perch magazine.
@@flashman3962 No, Giles Catchpole definitely writes for T&S
You mean Henry Fishingpole, who writes for Gurnard & Guppy, surely?
Cool episode It a pity that Aston Martin doesn’t build the stunt cars for the public it sounds so good 👍
Another brilliant bit of film....👍
Second time watching this video, absolutely amazing. Well done sir.
Nice video and beautiful car 😊👍
That MUST be an S54 (BMW M3 E46) engine. No way!
NVM he said it later in the video lmao!
Great Video with the greatest Car ever🎉
