That's a beauty Michael, nice shot, there's definitely something timeless about the lines of a DB5. Nearly 50 years later Ford is using the Aston front end 'look'.

Yeah, I was so happy to see it, I have always wanted to see one and then I turned down New Bond St, heard somebody talking about a DB5, I thought there must be one around walked up the street and there it was, people of all ages was taking photos of it, It gained nearly as much attention as a Veyron! Yeah I really dislike the new fords with the grille, it does look stupid!

I prefer the DB4 GT personally but would be happy to own either.

It is highly likely that you will get to see a few of them around when the better weather arrives later in the year, as the owners could well bring them out this year in order to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the car, along with the large number of events being arranged for AML's 100th.

Yeah that's true, I am looking to visit London and hoping I see some Aston Martins around!

You're saying that because of the value and performance of the 4GT however visually the DB5 is finished better.

I prefer the looks of the DB4 actually.

Thanks, I quite like this colour, may I ask where and when this was taken, like at a event or meet etc?

Thanks, I need to start attending these kind of events, and that silver one you posted is perfect, thanks

Try and get yourself along to the Bonhams auction at Newport Pagnell. Saturday May 18th. It's a good day. I took the silver one outside Sunnyside there.
