The 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.
