This Aston Martin was rather unfortunate to rot in the bran for nearly 20 years and its sparkly new bodywork has rusted. DB5 looks like a wreck with its black leather seats ripped apart as the car hasn’t been driven for twenty years, but hasn’t lost its sheen altogether.
The Aston Martin in dilapidated condition still has lovers and is expected to fetch a whopping £200,000, even after the warning from the auctioneers that restoring the car will cost another £200,000 to the owner. Well, that’s what Aston Martin is all about.
This car is one of the 983 Aston Martin DB5s that were made during 1963-65 in Aston Martin factory in Newport Pagnell, Bucks. The two door coupe in question is 1964 model and was equipped with 4 liter engine that used to generate 282 brake horsepower with its top speed at 145mph. Also, the on board luxuries included electric windows, pile carpets and a fire extinguisher.
