Four Aston Martin DB5s up for sale at Hilton & Moss

UK Classic Car Specialist Hilton & Moss is offering four Aston Martin DB5s for sale at the same time.

General Manager William Garrett from Hertfordshire-based car specialist Hilton & Moss says they are offering Aston Martin DB5 buyers "something rarely afforded in the rarefied world of Aston Martin DB5s: the luxury of choice" with an extraordinary line up of four DB5s for sale at one time.

1. 1964 Aston Martin DB5 'Silver Birch'

UPDATE: this car has been sold

This stunning DB5 is finished in the iconic ‘James Bond’ specification with Silver Birch paint over a rich Black Connoly leather interior.

This car was supplied new in September 1965 to actor and comedian Dick Emery, by Aston Martin’s oldest dealership – H.W. Motors Limited – now H.W.M. Aston Martin.

In recent years it was treated to a full body-off restoration, as well as the fitment of a handful of carefully selected, discreet enhancements, including upgraded suspension, a Becker Mexico Retro in-car entertainment system, air-conditioning and selectable power steering.

The engine was also recently rebuilt by Aston Martin Works to 4.2-litre factory Vantage specification at the cost of £57,000.

A fine example in the iconic colour combination. Presenting in superb condition it is ready to be cherished and enjoyed, whether that be on the open road, or the concours lawn.

2. 1965 Aston Martin DB5 'Pacific Blue'

The second car is finished in the distinguished colour combination of Pacific Blue with a black leather interior.

Delivered new in April of ’65, it was specified with the desirable 5-speed ‘box and has been in long-term enthusiast ownership until very recently, having been enjoyed to the full-on–road as well as in FIA sprints, hill climbs and rallies. It has been fastidiously maintained, inside and out, by leading marque specialists.

Recent works include a money-no-object revitalisation of the interior, a rebuild of the straight-six to ‘fast road’ 4.2-litre specification, the fitment of the transformative Harvey Bailey Handling Kit and the full rebuild of the 5-speed gearbox. It is now one of the best-driving DB5s around.

3. 1964 Aston Martin DB5 'California Sage'

The third DB5 available is a sympathetically restored example, finished in the beguiling, light green of California Sage.

This 5-speed ZF equipped 1964 car was delivered by Brooklands of Bond Street in June of that year, and has remained in the UK since then, cherished by a succession of long-term owners.

It was then comprehensively restored in recent years, with the works including a full-respray in its wonderful original colour. It now presents in exceptional condition inside and out.

4. 1964 Aston Martin DB5 restoration

The final DB5 on offer represents a unique proposition: the chance for a customer to specify their own, perfect DB5.

It will be an icon tailor-made for the owner, rebuilt from the ground up in Hilton & Moss’ sprawling, state-of-the-art restoration complex.

The basis for the restoration will be a blemish-free, restored DB5 chassis and shell, which has been exactingly prepared in Hilton & Moss’ manufacturer-approved bodywork shop.

Originally delivered in July ’64 via Brooklands in London, this RHD car travelled to the US before spending 30 years tucked away in dry storage. It now represents a one-of-a-kind opportunity, a blank canvas on which the new owner can render their DB5 dream a reality.

The very time-consuming aluminium body and chassis have been restored and the car is now ready for the new owner to finalise the restoration and complete the story.

All prices are on application. If you're interested in any of these DB5s, contact Hilton & Moss.
