Condition
7
The car is in totally original and unrestored condition, possessing the unmistakable patina of such vehicles. The leather and carpets are all original and the paintwork, though in need of freshening, is the same cellulose finish that was applied in 1971. The car has led a very sheltered life while in the Smith family's care, having covered only 58,000 genuine miles, and has been meticulously maintained with constant servicing.

The car offered here is one of only 12 DB5 sports saloons converted into shooting brakes by coachbuilder Harold Radford and thus an example of the rarest of all DB5 variants.
Eight were right-hand drive and four left-hand drive, and all 12 survive.
In 1965 a new Aston Martin DB5 cost £4,412 (plus an extra £190 if the optional Vantage engine was ordered) to which the shooting brake conversion added a further £2,000-plus.
Thus this car's total delivered cost was approximately £7,000 at a time when the average price of a house in the UK was £3,600! Chassis number '2047/R' was manufactured during 1965 as a saloon finished in light green (California Sage) and fitted with engine number '400/2012' prior to delivery as a finished car to Harold Radford for the factory-commissioned shooting brake conversion.
The car was refinished in Caribbean Pearl with red Connolly leather interior and returned to the factory for the fitting of a DB6 Vantage engine, number '400/2918V'.
