History:

🇺🇸 This Aston Martin DB5 Convertible left the factory in June 1964 and was then delivered new to the United States in 1965. It is a particularly rare example, as only 123 DB5 Convertibles were produced, of which just 38 were left-hand drive.

The car was originally delivered in an elegant Platinum configuration with a red interior, before being laid up for many years in the United States in a barn.

🇮🇹 A complete bodywork restoration was then carried out in Italy around 2009, likely by Bacchelli & Villa, a workshop renowned for the quality of its classic Ferrari restorations. On this occasion, the car was configured in a highly desirable "Triple Black" livery.

🇧🇪 The car then joined a Belgian collection before being acquired in 2012 by the current owner from Belgian specialist Michel Kruch.

📄 A file of invoices as well as an extensive photographic restoration record accompany the car, allowing its history and the numerous works carried out over the years to be traced. This DB5 was notably featured in an article in the French magazine British Motors in June 2017, a copy of which is included in the file.

Condition:

🚘 This DB5 Convertible presents today in superb configuration and in very good overall condition. The restoration carried out in Italy preserved all the elegance of the lines drawn by Touring Superleggera.

The bodywork presents very well, as does the deep black paint, which particularly highlights the DB5 Convertible's iconic proportions. The chrome, body panel fit, and the various exterior elements offer a very attractive presentation. The black soft top harmoniously completes this highly sought-after "Triple Black" configuration.

The black leather cabin is particularly elegant and consistent with the car's current configuration. The instrumentation and trim as a whole present very well.

🔧 On the mechanical side, this DB5 has benefited from significant work in recent years. The engine was fully rebuilt in 2019 with new liners and pistons, bringing the displacement up to 4.2 litres. The parts were supplied by marque specialist Cecil Cars, and the engine was fully stripped down and carefully reassembled.

This DB5 Convertible represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most iconic and exclusive models in Aston Martin's history. Very rarely offered on the market, particularly in left-hand drive, it will appeal to the most discerning collectors.

🛞 The tyres were replaced in 2018.
