1963\u21921965 Aston Martin DB5<\/h1>\n
\n

Perhaps the most famous Aston Martin because of the specially equipped silver birch DB5 that starred in the James Bond films “Goldfinger” and “Thunderball”. The DB5 made a comeback to the big screen in the 1995 film “GoldenEye”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regarded by many as the most beautiful Aston Martin produced, DB5 shares many similar traits to DB4. However, DB5\u2019s most substantial change occurred under the bonnet. The 6 cylinder engine increased its capacity to 4 litres by increasing the bore to 96mm. Significant too was the introduction of a true full synchromesh ZF 5 speed gearbox. Other chassis changes included the adoption of the Girling disc brakes that had only been used on the DB4GT, and 15\u201d wheels.<\/p>\n

A convertible was also offered and was available with a steel hard top with an exceptionally large rear window.<\/p>\n
