Description
When commissioned to build the ultimate Aston Martin DB5, this is what we created. Featuring a wide range of subtle modern enhancements and fully restored to the finest condition, this 1964 Aston Martin DB5 is a bespoke masterpiece ready to be driven away today. According to Aston Martin Heritage Trust records, only 127 DB5s were painted Silver Birch when they left the factory; this is one of those cars, built on the 31st of January 1964 in Silver Birch with a Grey interior.
The ground-up restoration process took over two years to complete, with no stone left unturned in our effort to make this the highest calibre example on the market. A full photographic record of the restoration can be found here.
The works included:
A full body-off restoration including bare-metal paint in Silver Birch
Full chassis restoration to better-than-factory condition
Engine rebuild to 4. 2L specification including a number of upgrades detailed below
Full engine testing and tuning program on our dynamometer
Fitment of a modern 5-speed manual transmission
Conversion to Left Hand Drive, including fabrication of a new dashboard to original specification
