Rusty Old Timer

This week, a classic Aston Martin that has spent the last twenty years in a barn being completely unloved, is set to sell at auction for a massive two hundred thousand pounds. The DB5, helped made famous by James Bond, was found abandoned and unkempt, very unlike its counterparts that were prevalent in the 1960′s. It hasn’t been driven for the last two decades, and now sports rusted bodywork and ripped leather seats.

Despite its neglected demeanour, there are car enthusiasts across the country that are expected to come out and bid on the Aston martin at auction, and will pay large sums of money to get it into their possession and have a go at restoring it to its former glory. Auctioneers at Bonhams, the auctioneers who have been given the privilege of selling the vehicle, have warned that their specialists estimate the car to cost a further two hundred thousand to restore to its sparkly former glory.

Philip Kantor said: ‘People interested in buying it are generally very wealthy collectors who want it to be in a barn find collection.

‘This is because they see it as a restoration project and can restore it to their own choice.’

In the 1960-s, the DB5 was one of the most expensive cars on the market, with only 983 of the vehicles being made at the Aston Martin factory in Buckinghamshire.

The seller, who remains anonymous, could not afford to restore the motor to its former glory, so is auctioning it via Bonhams at the Prince of Monaco’s motor museum this month. This particular Aston Martin was originally in Fiesta Red, was made in 1964 and had three owners, with only just over sixty one thousand miles on the clock.

Once restored, the owner will have to obtain Car Insurance.
