DB5 VANTAGE ICONS COLLECTION

- www.nicholasme­e.co.uk

With just over 1,000 examples of the iconic Aston Martin DB5 built, to see one – let alone have the chance to buy one – is a moment to be cherished. But even among DB5s, connoisseu­rs look for those rarer still: the performanc­e-enhanced Vantage versions, with less than 70 ever built. Therefore, we are delighted to o΍er for a sale a once-in-a-lifetime trio of these DB5 Vantage icons, uniquely in Coupé, Convertibl­e and one-of-one Shooting Brake variations.

Although each example in this collection is rare, none can quite match the DB5 Shooting Brake Vantage; the only such example to have been produced. With a hand-built aluminium body built by coachbuild­ers Harold Radford & Sons, this shooting brake was delivered to its ȴrst owner in 19 and is ȴnished in California Sage over Red hides.

Alongside the Shooting Brake sits a DB5 Vantage Convertibl­e, an icon of the swinging sixties. In total, only 123 were built and only ȴve such examples were completed to Vantage speciȴcati­on, including the car o΍ered here. )inished in the period colour combinatio­n of Caribbean Pearl Blue with White Gold hide interior and matching hood.

Lastly and perhaps the most iconic, is the DB5 Vantage Coupe, ȴnished in Silver Birch over Black hides, the colour combinatio­n favoured by a certain secret agent.

Collected over a 12-year period, never before have these three most coveted examples been o΍ered as a collection. (very one of them has been fully restored to the very highest standards by leading Aston Martin restoratio­n specialist­s, allowing them to be enjoyed in as-new condition. (ach car has a detailed history ȴle populated with original build details, BMIHT certiȴcate­s, maintenanc­e records, ownership documentat­ion and restoratio­n particular­s, detailing the stories of each individual car from their build dates, to today.

The trio of DB5 Vantages are o΍ered collective­ly, with a price tag of e ,000,000. )or further details, multiple images and feature videos, please visit our web-site. The cars are available for viewing at our Hertfordsh­ire showrooms.
