Description

The Aston Martin DB5 is often viewed as “the most famous car in the world”. Since it was starred in the James bond movies Goldfinger and Thunderball, it has become for many a schoolboy’s dream. In evolution terms, a DB5 is a Series V DB4 with a 4.0 litre engine and a lightweight ‘Superleggera’ body slightly restyled by Carrozzeria Touring Milano.

Following its launch in July 1963, the DB5 received much praise, not least for its performance. At the time, the DB5 was one of the fastest cars available with a maximum speed of 148 mph. Its production, however, was relatively short-lived, ending in September 1965 after 1.021 units had been made. Of this limited run, only 123 were DB5 Convertibles and the RHD example we have here for sale is one of the very last Aston Martin DB5 Convertible ever produced.

After some years in the United Kingdom, this DB5 C was exported to Australia where it stayed for 23 years. Subsequently to its return in the UK in 1988, it underwent a ‘no-expense spared’ three-year restoration estimated to have cost 90,000 GBP.

Finished in Black Pearl with Burgundy interior, this exceptional Aston Martin is offered in very good condition with a very rare matching hardtop.

The current owner, a Belgian passionate, has acquired the vehicle in 1993 and kept it for more than three decades. Registered as an Oldtimer, the DB5 is in possession of its FIVA card and has participated to various prestigious car meetings. The Aston Martin has been cherished like a collector item and regularly maintained. It was driven only for special occasions and to this day has accrued a total of 93.750 miles. When not in use, it has always been stored in a dry garage.

Accompanying the car is a substantial history file, containing the original owner’s handbook, a copy of the Aston Martin build sheet, a photographic presentation of the body restoration, and all maintenance invoices since the last thirty years.

We don’t often have the chance to offer a superb driving example of the rare and coveted DB5 Convertible, beautifully presented in a very elegant color combination. Only 81 Aston Martin DB5C were built Right-Hand-Drive, and this one comes with its rare hardtop. Connoisseurs will recognize here the unique investment opportunity.
