As it is a duplicate and a stunt automotive, it doesn’t have a full DB5 inside.

Moreover automobiles, there are a selection of fits, tuxedoes and outfits warn over time by Daniel Craig (together with the navy tactical outfit from the top of “No Time to Die“), plus a tux worn by Timothy Dalton in “Licence to Kill,” and costumes worn by Christophe Waltz (“Spectre“), Javier Bardem (“Skyfall“) and Rami Malek (“No Time to Die“).
