James Bond?s silver 1965 Aston Martin DB5 coupe has sold for $1.9 million at an annual classic car auction in Arizona.

The buyer was a wealthy 45-year-old Swiss businessman who does not wish to be identified. He made his bid over the phone from Switzerland through car dealer Beat Roos.

“His instructions were to bring the car back to Switzerland,” says Roos.

The gadget-packed vehicle, which has been featured in Bond movies such as Goldfinger and Thunderball, will join the rest of the Aston Martins and Porches in the businessman?s personal car collection.

It was originally estimated to sell for between $1.5 million and $2.5 million.
