â¢	Mileage: 49,250â¢	Engine: 4.0 Literâ¢	Horsepower: 282â¢	Drive Layout: RWDâ¢	Transmission: 5 Speed ZF Manualâ¢	Color: Silver Birch Metallicâ¢	Interior: Tan LeatherThe Aston Martin DB5 is perhaps the most universally beloved car to ever leave Aston Martin's factory. Known best for its appearance in the James Bond film franchise, the DB5 has become synonymous with not only the most beloved British spy on the silver screen, but with British motoring as a whole. The DB5 was fondly billed as the "most famous car in the world" and carries the same mystique to this day with an instantly recognizable silhouette and the status of a pop culture icon that is simply unmatched. While visually similar to the previous DB4, keen eyes will notice subtle differences especially the sloping rear end, but the most important differences between the Mark V DB4 and the DB5 are hidden below the sleek bonnet. The previous 3.7 liter powerplant had been replaced with a 4.0 liter all-aluminum motor sporting three SU carburetors and pushing 282 horsepower. The new powerplant propelled the DB5 145 miles per hour through an all new 5-speed ZF gearbox. The end result was a masterpiece of refined speed wrapped in the finest Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera body. This example is finished in the iconic Silver Birch Metallic paint over beautiful tan leather interior. After 53 years and a mere 49,250 miles on the road this DB5 still looks as good as the day it was assembled. The car drives exceptionally well and embodies the highest standard of luxury performance that Britain had to offer. The 4.0 liter motor pulls with enthusiasm through each gear of the stock ZF 5-speed, creating a driving experience that truly feels like the pinnacle of British grand touring. Extensive recent brake work keeps this DB5 well under control and attentive service has kept this DB5 running perfectly. With a style, presence, and driving experience unlike anything else on the road, there is no question as to why the Silver Birch DB5 still holds its title as the most famous car in the world.

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Cliveden House event, 8 July 2025. rn?580,000 - ?680,000 GBP rnrnOne of just 84 examples of the DB5 Convertible built in right-hand-drive formrnOriginally configured in Platinum over Black Connolly leather with a Black soft-top roof; now presented in metallic Silver Birch over red hidernDelivered new to London; owned by the consignor since 1999rnReplacement engine enlarged to 4.2 litres by Aston Engineering in 2008 as part of work exceeding ?21,000; straight-six is paired with a retrofitted five-speed manual transmissionrnAccompanied by a spare engine block, Aston Martin Heritage Trust certificate, copy of the factory build sheet, invoices, tool roll, jack, and spare wheelrn rnrnThe sporting DB4 served Aston Martin magnificently across its five series but in 1963, the time came to introduce the revised DB5. Regarded by many as the marque's finest Italianate-era entry, once again the model made use of Touring of Milan's lightweight tubular Superleggera construction method that supported alloy body panels. Underneath the beautiful skin, the famed straight-six designed by Tadek Marek grew from 3,670 cc up to 4 litres to produce a healthy 282 brake horsepower. To enjoy the driving experience even more, between 1963 and 1965, the Newport Pagnell factory built 123 DB5 Convertibles. With 39 of those configured for use abroad, a mere 84 were completed in right-hand-drive form suited for British roads. rnrnSuch an intoxicating recipe found favour with the great and the good. A broad spectrum of past and present famous owners of the rare DB5 Convertible reportedly included Peter Sellers, Princess Magaret, Prince Michael of Kent, Elle Macpherson, Ralph Lauren, and, perhaps less surprisingly, former Aston Martin boss Sir David Brown. rnrnAccording to the accompanying copy of the Vehicle Heritage Certificate issued in April 2013 by the Aston Martin Heritage Trust, chassis number DB5C/1509/R offered here was delivered on 10 July 1964 to a dealership in Brooklands. This right-hand-drive car was configured in Platinum to complement a Black soft-top roof and an interior trimmed with Black Connolly leather. Originally, a 4-litre straight-six was paired with a three-speed Borg Warner automatic transmission. The first owner is listed as Clearmount Limited of New Bond Street, London.rnrnFrom November 1987, the DB5 Convertible was owned by Mr Philip Barton-Wright from Grays in Essex. He kept the car for almost 13 years before it was acquired by the Germany-based consignor. However, before taking delivery of chassis number DB5C/1509/R in late-1999, he tasked The Aston Workshop of Beamish in County Durham with a major overhaul. Most notably, after the bodyshell was acid-treated, the car was changed to its current metallic Silver Birch hue. In addition, the dashboard was restored, a new black mohair roof and wire wheels were fitted, the gearbox and rear axle rebuilt, the carburettors refreshed, and uprated anti-roll bars equipped as part of work totalling ?48,000 (invoice available to view on file).rnrnSince completion, the DB5 Convertible has formed part of the seller's pre- and post-war Aston Martin collection. In 2008, the DB5 did return to the United Kingdom ahead of an extensive rebuild of the replacement engine. Aston Engineering of Derby was tasked with the overhaul, which notably included boring out the straight-six to desirable 4.2-litre capacity. In addition to installing new pistons supplied by Cosworth, the cylinder head was refurbished, the camshaft covers powder coated, and the three SU carburettors rebuilt at a cost of ?12,530. A further ?8,609 was spent with the marque specialist to cover the costs of a replacement clutch and flywheel, a service of the brakes, and greasing the chassis. rnrnThe Aston Martin is notably accompanied by a restamped spare engine block in addition to a jack, tool roll, plus spare wheel. Currently featuring an uprated engine that is paired with a five-speed manual gearbox, this DB5 Convertible could offer a thrilling open-air driving experience to its next owner. rnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.
