www.silverstoneauctions.com 69 + buyer’s premium of 15% including VAT @ 20% Cars Saturday 9th November 2019 1965 Aston Martin DB5 LOT 234 Having been admired by everyone who had licked a stamp, LBH 651C was sold in late 2013 to the former Radio 2 Breakfast Show presenter, Chris Evans, who is a passionate car collector and well known for his remarkable collection of wonderful classics. Chris owned the car for a year at which point it was then sold it to our private vendor in December 2014. During our vendor’s ownership, we are informed that, in the interests of authenticity, he managed to locate the original engine block, repair it, and rebuild the original engine. Our vendor is a passionate Australian collector but kept the car in the UK and during his regular visits to England would use it for weekends in Norfolk and the Peak District along with playing an active part in the fund-raising Hope Classic Rally for three years up until 2017. After four and a bit years of joyful private ownership, the time has now come for someone else to experience the delights of DB5 motoring. Considering the special provenance of this particular example along with its amazing condition (that really needs to be seen in the metal) Silverstone Auctions are very proud to offer one of the finest examples of the most famous of the James Bond Aston Martins.
