“A Unique and Important Aston Martin Back on the Road after 51 Years”
The original and last known tax disc is still with the car and expired in September 1968. The speedometer shows 33,853 miles.
Prestige were tasked with stripping the car to bare metal and carrying out some metalwork before Sports Classics London (https://sportsclassicslondon.com/) put the car up for sale.
Ready to be stripped to bare metal. Aston Martin DB5 5515 PP.
Upon commencement of the restoration we were amazed to find that every panel on the car was original.
The only sign of a previous minor repair was to the offside rear wing. Great effort was made to replace as little new aluminium as possible to the area to retain its originality. Even the original door skins remain over new frames. The front bonnet and boot lid still have the chassis number written on them this car is an unprecedented find.
In the Prestige metalwork shop.
Upon completion of metalwork the car went off for paint to be finished in Silver Birch.
