Chassis number: DB5/1533/R
Engine number: 400/1495
This DB5, one of 898 coupes built, was restored to AMOC Concours condition. The DB5's
engine was increased to 3995cc by boring out the cylinders to 96mm. With three SU carburetors, this combination gave
an output of 282 bhp. The new exterior look, which is a carry-over from the late series 5 DB4's, gave the car a
much sleeker appearance. Sloping front fender and covered headlamps gave Aston Martin a whole new look.
With its star roles in the James Bond movies, the DB5 has become the most sought-after of all the late DB's.
The price at the time this photo was taken was $475,000.
