AUTOart Aston Martin DB5: Silver vs. Green, RHD and Gift Checks
Choose AUTOart 70287 for a Birch Silver DB5 or 70286 for British Racing Green. Both selected Muncle Mikes models are 1:18, right-hand drive and described as composite, with opening hood, doors and trunk. Buy them for the DB5 and the specified finish—not on an assumption that silver paint includes movie gadgets.
For a gift, the most useful distinction is whether the recipient wants a classic Aston Martin display model or a specific film-version replica with particular equipment.

70287: Birch Silver
The Birch Silver DB5, 70287, is the relevant choice for a silver Aston Martin display. Keep the exact paint name and item number together; a DB5 from a different release may use another finish or specification.
Choose silver when it matches the recipient's preference or complements the rest of the collection. The hero image on this guide shows this silver item, not the green alternative.
The product title identifies a DB5 but does not name a particular film, character edition or represented model year. Those details should not be added to the order description without confirmation.
70286: British Racing Green
The British Racing Green DB5, 70286, is the alternative for a green-car collection or an owner who prefers that finish. It retains the same listed scale and opening features as the silver example.
A different body color is not evidence of a different cabin color. The selected titles do not establish an interior-color choice, so confirm that separately when matching a real car or another model is important.
For someone who already owns a silver DB5, check the existing item number before ordering green as a companion. Decide whether a second finish is genuinely the desired addition rather than assuming any collector needs both.
What right-hand drive means for the purchase
Both listings explicitly state right-hand drive: the represented steering position is on the right side of the cabin. It is a fixed feature of these models, not something changed by displaying the car from the opposite side.
That matters for an owner-matching gift. A model can have the correct body color and still differ from the requested cabin configuration. Verify steering position before treating a similar-looking listing as equivalent.
Which parts open?
Both store descriptions confirm opening hood, doors and trunk, rubber tires, positionable steering and carpeted interior and trunk areas. These are useful features for someone who wants to view the represented cabin and engine compartment as well as the exterior.
The listings do not advertise an ejector seat, rotating number plates, concealed weapons or other movie gadgets. Do not order either car expecting those mechanisms solely because it is a DB5. This is a limit of the verified specifications, not a claim about every AUTOart DB5 release ever produced.
When a particular gadget or film edition is essential, resolve that requirement for the exact item before purchasing. A general DB5 title and a silver photograph are not enough to establish it.
Finish with a display-space check
Both models are listed at approximately 9.25 × 3.5 × 2.75 inches. Allow extra space for open doors and a raised hood, and compare usable internal case dimensions rather than outside measurements.
The final order match is straightforward: DB5, right-hand drive, 1:18, the selected finish and either 70287 or 70286. That gives a collector a clearly identified Aston Martin without promising accessories, movie equipment or a special edition the product does not specify.
