To the casual observer, the 1963 DB 5 is virtually indistinguishable from a late model DB 4 Vantage the DB 5 is essentially a four-litre version of the DB 4. Initially fitted with the four-speed David Brown gearbox, the vast majority of cars received the superior five-speed gearbox either as an option or later as standard fitting. So why is the DB 5 so often thought of as the quintessential Aston Martin? Without doubt, this is due to a Silver Birch example featuring in the 1964 James Bond film, Goldfinger, complete with modifications and hidden weaponry. With 007 behind the wheel of the sensational sports GT, demand outstripped supply - the factory just couldn't capitalise fast enough on the marketing success of the DB 5. Even today, DB 5's are highly regarded and change hands for sums significantly greater than almost anything else in the range This late example DB 5 was supplied new by the franchised dealer H W M of Walton-on-Thames and presents well in Autumn Gold with an Oxblood leather interior that was fitted in place of the original beige trim during a comprehensive restoration that took place during the 1980 s. The work was undertaken by coachbuilders, Medcalf and Co. during the tenure of the cars third owner, Mr. Steel of Surrey. We are informed that the odometer was zeroed during the restoration process and now reads 6,767 miles. In October 1995, the DB 5 passed into the current family ownership having been purchased from Mr. Steel. The history file for this delightful Aston Martin contains older invoices including a number from RS Williams dating from 1968 through to 1972, a selection of previous Mo T test certificates, an old style continuation logbook, various correspondence from current and past owners, AMOC literature, magazines and press cuttings. The six-cylinder engine started immediately when requested and ran well with no adverse noises and the manual gearbox offered a smooth gearchange.JNJ 5 D is being sold on behalf of the estate of its late, enthusiast owner who used the car sparingly during his tenure and attended various owners club meetings. Without doubt one of the prettiest and most iconic cars ever manufactured, a DB 5 always causes interest when coming to the market and we expect this car to continue the trend. The association of the Aston Martin marque with James Bond started with the DB 5 and the model has retained superiority in the market place ever since. Given the realistic estimate, if you have ever aspired to own a DB 5, this really is a gift of an opportunity. Historics Classic & Sportscar auctioneers Get a FREE valuation 01753 639 170
