Race Retro Classic & Competition Car Sale 2020 21st - 23rd February 2020

Classic Cars - Saturday 22nd February 2020 www.silverstoneauctions.com 119 + buyer’s premium of 15% including VAT @ 20% Parry of York in 2002. Over the next ten years or so, Mr Parry took it upon himself to oversee the thorough resurrection of this prestigious car, commissioning respected marque specialists Post Vintage Engineers to carry out a complete body-off restoration, with images on file showing the extent of corrosion when the car was initially dismantled. Extensive body and chassis restoration were completed, which included the fabrication of front and rear body skins, new door skins, removal and replacement of inner and outer sills, replacement trailing arm mounts and jacking points, chassis outriggers etc. All of this work is supported by invoices and photographs. The suspension and braking system were completely rebuilt and upgraded with a Harvey Bailey shock absorber/ suspension kit and the car fully re-trimmed in Burgundy (3171) Connolly hide with Red Wilton carpet, all finished to a very high standard. At the crescendo of the project, in 2012, Mr Parry further instructed engine specialists JMB Services to rebuild the engine to unleaded 4.2-litre specification, costing almost £20,000, but producing a very healthy 316.3 lb/ft torque at 4165rpm and making the car very pleasant to drive. Understanding the inherent quality of what had been done to the car, our vendor bought it in late 2016 and had some additional minor work carried out by CCS Restorations of Bath, a full service, a recoating of the manifolds, plus a highly professional respray by renowned experts Charlie’s Classic & Custom Bodyshop in Somerset in Silver Birch. With an odometer that reads just 5 miles since the restoration and having been stored and maintained to exacting standards since completion, the overall presentation of this car is remarkable. We are not legally able to use the term “as good as new” but if we could, we would. Properly restored to Concours standards with extensive documentation, this stunning DB5 must be one of the very best examples available anywhere. 1964 Aston Martin DB5 LOT 432 More Images Lot 432 Bid On Lot 432
