The Aston Martin DB5 is best known for its role in James Bond movies like Goldfinger and Thunderball, which made it the icon it is today. Auction House Coys’ is hosting the London sale ‘True Greats’ this week and one of the cars that is sure to fetch a pretty penny is one rare coupe with a celebrity owner.

The car you see here once belonged to George Harrison, a musician who is best known for his role as lead guitarist for The Beatles. It was delivered to him brand new back in 1965 and comes with the 4.0-liter straight-six that’s supposed to offer 282 horsepower and a top speed of 148 miles per hour.

The car has spent some time in a museum and in the hand of a collector. It’s still in original and unrestored condition, which is rare for a car of the era.
