Aston Martin DB5

This right-hand-drive DB5, chassis DB5/1790/R, was delivered new in October 1964 in Sierra Blue with a red interior and an optional heated rear screen. It was first registered 'FHC 2' three days before its first owner collected it. Aston Martin built 886 DB5s, and this one has a well-documented life.

Only three owners have had it. The second kept it for 45 years from 1973 and covered more than 100,000 miles. He had the car restored structurally and mechanically in 2001-2003, including an engine rebuild to 4.2-litre specification and unleaded-ready cylinder head work. The third owner then spent a reported £90,000 with Aston Engineering between 2019 and 2021. That work covered a repaint, further metalwork, an engine and gearbox removal, a rebuilt rear axle and a set of four Borrani wire wheels.

R.S. Williams serviced the car in September 2025 and fitted new springs, and it has covered fewer than 1,500 miles since. The listing describes the original interior as well preserved. A comprehensive history file comes with it, including factory build records and a photograph of Desmond Llewelyn beside the car. The price is on application and no odometer reading is given.
