1964 Aston Martin DB5: One of just 220 Left-Hand-Drive Examples
Produced Of the 899 DB5 coupes built, just 220 were constructed as
left-hand-drive cars; of those, just 193 were intended for US
delivery. Completed in June 1964, this Aston Martin was dispatched
to legendary car dealer Peter Satori of Pasadena, California.
According to factory records, this DB5 was originally finished in
the distinctive color scheme of Sand over green Connolly leather
and generously optioned with chrome wire wheels, a limited-slip
differential, Normalair air-conditioning, and Armstrong Selectaride
adjustable suspension. Having spent a majority of its life garaged
in Southern California, this elegant DB5 presents particularly
well. Currently finished in striking dark green metallic with black
leather interior, it is a most attractive example, with many
important original details still intact. Boasting an ideal factory
specification, long-term single family ownership, and genuine
character, this left-hand-drive DB5 is surely among the most
desirable examples of a David Brown Aston Martin. Among the most
intact and ideally outfitted of its kind, this outstanding DB5 is
deserving of a place of honor in sophisticated collections the
world over. Following the recent sale of the "James Bond" RHD DB5
for $6.4 million dollars, this Left-Hand-Drive example looks like
quite the bargain. The Most Famous of All Aston Martin Models
