Behold: the 1964 Aston Martin DB5 Coupe, successor to the DB4 and, famously, James Bond’s grand tourer of choice. 4.0l straight six, magnesium alloy coachwork by Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera.

This is DB5 No.5 – the fifth ever built. With early 4 speed manual transmission and left hand drive, it was sold new in San Francisco and remains intact and in original condition after 55 years.

Coming under the hammer this summer.

            He just likes wearing thongs.
            There was a guy cycling home in front of me today. Bog standard looking bloke. Normal bloke clothes. His jacket rode up his back to reveal a lacy thong. Each to his own.

    There’s one (DB5) slowly rotting away in a yard in the Dublin area environs. I had a couple of spins in it before it was parked up in the 80’s. Owner has no interest in selling, despite the silly money they go for these days.

    No machine gun headlights, no rotating number plates, no rear oil/thumb tack dispenser and especially, no pussy galore. Pass.
