This rare Aston Martin DB5 is 1 of only 20% delivered in LHD configuration from the factory.

 

Richards of England were commissioned to restore the car to its original specifications, whilst preserving the interior, panel work and chassis. 

 

When the DB5 was delivered to ROE it was evident of the problems to the paint and bodywork. ROE were able to restore the DB5 to Concours Standard with careful precision whilst preserving original parts. 

 

The DB5 was re-sprayed to its original colour of Silver Birch; fortuitously after 60 years, the original VM3171 Red Connolly leather interior was in great condition albeit with minor wear and tear which is understandable given its age and use. A full mechanical overhaul was also undertaken. 

​

Richards of England sold the DB5 off-market to a client in the USA. 

​

Since the Aston was delivered to the States it was entered into the nineteenth annual La Jolla Concours d'Elegance on Sunday 27th April 2025. 

The Aston won two awards at the Concours: 

First in Class: European Sports Car 1954-1975 

and 

Speciality Winner: Most Outstanding Post-War Award. 

​

The DB5 was also a winner at the Las Vegas Concours held at the Wynn Golf Club on Saturday 1st November. The award

Best In Class: (British Sports Cars and Gran Touring).
