    Best looking DB 5 I've ever seen! But that photography is eye-popping. Who took those photos????? Take a bow whoever you are!

    Yes pics are great. They were taking by the photographer that Aston Workshop uses. Unfortunately I never met him/her but I will be sure to pass on the compliments!

    Very nice Mark. She is a beauty. I love the way these Aston sounds. Such a distinctive sound. The TDF will complement it well!

    Oh my....such class !! beautiful part of a stunning collection, congrats Mark. The DB5 is in my top five cars of all time. Everytime I thought they couldn't possibly go higher, they doubled lol. The quality of workmanship is evident in the restoration, truly art.

    Enjoy it in wonderful health :)

    Thank you everyone for the comments. Drove for about an hour today, it was such a pleasure. The engine is really surprising me. It has a deep sound that builds dramatically to the red line and it pulls hard and smooth. It's so nice to drive. I have just got back and already can't wait to put more miles on it. My buddy Larry is coming next week to put protective film on it and then going to materially increase the miles!

    The more I look at the car the more great lines I see. I think I'm in love. Is that silly with something that's over 50 years old?

    Congratulations on your collection of cars- you have great taste and sounds like you are enjoying them as everyone should - by driving them! Looks like it's time to extend the garage!? That's what I'm having to do first !
