The entry
The Aston Martin DB5.
The DB5 introduced a larger 4.0-litre straight-six and an all-synchromesh five-speed gearbox over the DB4, built using aluminium body panels over a steel platform chassis under Touring of Milan's Superleggera method.
Alongside the saloon, Aston Martin offered a Volante convertible, and a limited run of Shooting Brake estate conversions were also built on the DB5 platform.
We review your Aston Martin DB5 on the engineering behind it, its own history and its condition, not against a generic pricing model.

Footnotes
º1Do you buy the Aston Martin DB5?
Aston Martin DB5 entries are considered case by case, filed under Classics & Grand Touring as entry Nº 145 / 168. Availability and purchase appetite depend on provenance, specification, history and seller expectations. Submit the details or call, and a senior specialist comes back to you directly.
º2Do you need to see my Aston Martin DB5 before making an offer?
Not for the offer itself. A specialist reviews what you tell us about your Aston Martin DB5 first. Inspection follows once you accept a direct purchase offer, before anything is finalised.
º3How does selling my Aston Martin DB5 to MotorSignet work?
Send the registration or the details of your Aston Martin DB5. A specialist reviews it personally and, if it fits what we buy, makes a direct purchase offer. If you accept, inspection and collection are arranged. Paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves. We aim to complete within 7 days where checks and paperwork are ready.
º4Do you buy DB5s that have had later mechanical updates or uprated brakes fitted?
Yes, tell us the exact specification and history of any changes as part of your submission.
