This is a rare opportunity to buy a near complete DB5 restoration project. The car comes complete with a full body re-spray, recent gearbox, rebuilt engine, new suspension, brakes and interior. Final details will of course be the decision of the new owner. Colour & trim can be altered to suit, as can mechanical specification. The final price will be dependent on the required specification.
An incredible detailed photographic record has been maintained over the last 27 years, and the mileage is documented at 38,968
