Such was the demand for the 007 DB5 to appear around the world to publicise the films, a further two cars that never actually appeared in the films, DB5/2008/R and DB5/2017/R, had the 007 extras fitted by the Aston Martin Works. Following extensive promotional tours during the 1960's, both works replicas have subsequently spent many years in museums.

They have detailed differences from the film cars but are otherwise perfect replicas and are still considered genuine Bond cars. To some extent, the working features are built to be repeated demonstrated rather than the original effects car where they only needed to work the once during filming.
