Aston Martin DB5 Convertible

The DB5 Convertible is the rarest of the DB5 family, with only 123 built against 886 coupes. This example was built in early 1964 at the start of convertible production. It was ordered in right-hand drive, though the factory build sheet shows "LHD" crossed out, which explains an options list more typical of export cars: a 5-speed ZF manual gearbox, 3.77 P-Lok rear axle, chrome wheels, twin Marchal foglamps, a Motorola radio with power aerial and Britax belts.

Supplied through J. Blake & Co of Liverpool to its first owner in Cheshire, it was registered RCM 800 and was originally finished in Lavender Grey with red hides. Later owners included music producer Rupert Hine, who kept it from 1985 to 2002. It then passed to a fourth owner, who kept it until 2025.

A body-off restoration was carried out between 2002 and 2004, and the car is said to have covered under 2,000 miles since. R.S. Williams completed a full mechanical restoration in 2025-26, including a new 4.2-litre engine. It is now presented in Silver Birch. Price is on application.
