Highlights
- The legendary Italian-designed front end taken from the Aston Martin DB5
- Stripped back to bare metal - an absolute blank slate
- Perfect for art installations, furniture upcycling and more
The Appeal
The DB5 is one of the world’s most iconic motors, thanks to its James Bond pedigree and Italian design.
A fair bit of that iconic nature comes from the Superleggera-designed nose cone, with its smooth lines and distinctive grill. This nose cone is presented in its purest form, unpainted, stripped back and with no fittings - ready for you to make your mark.
Whether it’s to be 'upcycled' into a piece of suitably petrolhead-centric furniture, or even to restore an existing DB5, this distinctive aluminium nose cone is perhaps one of the most iconic pieces of automobilia you could own.
The Condition
- Stripped back and ready for a new lease of life
- No paint or fittings
- Ragged edges and some imperfections to the metal
Presented in its rawest form, there’s no mistaking the elegance of the DB5’s shape. However, it is presented as a blank canvas. This nose cone has no paint, no fittings and is very obviously presented as what it is - a stripped-back DB5 front end, cut from the iconic car.
As a result, there is a distinctive jagged edge and pitted texture to the aluminium, however, it’s still in perfect shape to respond to a new lease of life. Repaint, upcycle, restore - the choice is yours, and in each case, you’ve got the ideal blank canvas.
Summary
Automobilia collectors are naturally going to feel the draw of this item. With its impeccably designed shape, smooth outlines and distinctive profile, this nose cone is a work of art worthy of display already. The opportunity to develop that and make it your own is unmissable.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
