1964 Aston Martin DB5 Coupe

  • Coachwork by Touring
  • Chassis Number: DB5/1499/R
  • Engine Number: 400/1489
This Caribbean Pearl Blue metallic DB5 with a red leather interior is a right-hand drive example that was sold new by Brooklands, of Bond Street, on April 7th of 1964, in the county of Somerset. It was registered as 478 YYC and those plates still accompany the vehicle. The original purchaser of the vehicle paid £4,249, in 1964.

This DB5 is a later 1964 build and was fitted with a five-speed transmission rather than the early four-speed, or four-speed with overdrive transmission. It also rides on knock-off wire wheels. The car resided in England for four or five years before being shipped to California. It remained there for two decades, gaining an 8-track tape player, which is still with the car.

The current owner purchased the car in 1987 and had it shipped to Seattle. A three-year restoration from the ground up began shortly after the acquisition. The total, in 1991, came to almost $60,000. Since the work has been completed, it has been kept in a heated garage in the San Juan Islands, in Washington State, and enjoyed on the weekends. Currently the odometer shows just over 50,000 miles.

In 2013, the car was offered for sale at RM Auction's sale in Scottsdale, Arizona. The lot was sold for the sum of $407,000 including buyer's commission.
