1964 Aston Martin DB5 Coupe

Aston Martin was founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford. They went Bankrupt in 1924. After David Brown bought the company in 1947, Aston Martin began to build the classic 'DB' series of cars.
The 1958-63 DB4 went through many changes, divided up into five series, whereas the new DB5 didn't really change at all. The 1963-65 DB5 was identical to look at as the Series V DB4, but the DB5 got a new 282hp aluminium engine, enlarged from 3700cc to 4000cc; a new robust ZF five-speed transmission and three SU carburettors. Standard equipment on the DB5 included reclining leather seats, wool pile carpets, electric windows, twin fuel tanks and chrome wire wheels,
The DB5 Vantage got 3 twin choke Webers giving it 315hp. Also available as a convertible and a small number of the Estate 'Shooting Brake'
The DB5 made appearances in five James Bond movies; 1964 Goldfinger, 1965 Thunderball, 1995 Golden Eye, 1997 Tomorrow Never Dies and 2006 Casino Royale
