Description
This lovingly cherished Aston Martin DB5 offers exceptional value and boasts a 31-year ownership period. This is your opportunity to purchase a fantastic useable example just in time for the "Indian Summer."
The DB5 has a timeless look and remains one of the most famous cars in the world. Despite there only being 899 DB5 Coupes ever made, it’s believed that half of the world’s population would recognise a DB5 if they saw one. Quite how that was worked out remains a mystery, however, it’s difficult to argue with the plausibility of the statement.
Following on from the DB4, the DB5 benefited from an uprated 4-litre engine, capable of producing 282 bhp, which propelled the car to 145 mph. The ZF five-speed manual box was also a welcomed upgrade. Chassis changes included the adoption of the Girling disc brakes, along with 15” wheels. Many other improvements were also included, electric windows and twin hydraulic brake servos, to name two.
This DB5 (DB5/2035/R) has been fastidiously maintained and comes with a history folder no less than 2 inches in thickness. DB5/2035/R has always remained within the UK and still wears its original registration mark. It has an interesting history involving hill climbs having previously had FIA paperwork. Aston Martin specialists Davron are credited with the completion of the majority of the works over the years, with Aston Engineering supplying the majority of the parts. This included a complete gearbox rebuild with new bearings throughout and regular servicing. In 2021 this DB5 also benefited from an interior overhaul by Mitchells Coachworks. The dashboard was re-painted and retrimmed, new headlining and carpets were installed throughout, and various other works were completed.
In 2023, DB5/2035/R was again sent to Davron for its interim service and has also benefited from other enhancements completed by ROE. You will find a full list of the work completed during its most recent 31-year ownership on the ROE website, along with other documents contained within the history folder.
