Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1965 Aston Martin DB5 Vantage, one of only 17 left-hand-drive examples, was originally destined for Germany and comes in its factory-correct Silver Birch over Dark Blue color scheme. While it had a re-stamped engine block in the 90s, it has undergone a restoration by Aston Martin Works between 2017 and 2021, with costs exceeding £400,000, and the sale includes a 'continuation' engine to be supplied by Aston Martin Works.
