One of my early cars was this 1964 Aston Martin DB5. British Racing Green. I bought it when it was about a year old, but couldn't keep up with the repair and service bills. In recent years it has been completely restored by its' present owner. It's probably worth a hundred times what I paid for it in 1966!

This is a 1964 DB5, in British Racing Green. I owned it from 1966, for a couple of years. |
It was an expensive car to run - every time it went for repair work it cost 10% of the cars price! |
The present owner had it completely restored down to the bare metal. |
|
I sent him the original DB5 handbook, which I had kept as a souvenir! |
The stick is manual of course, and on the left! Steering wheels were pretty narrow in those days, too. |
Really nicely done leather upholstery. |
|
They don't make Aston Martins like this any more! |

This was me in my days as an Aston Martin owner. (1966) |
