Rich History
This DB5 was retained by Aston Martin’s Sales Department before being sold to its first private owner, a Mr. Clarke of the Forth Quarry Co Ltd of Stirling, Scotland. Only one other owner is recorded on the copy guarantee form: a Mr. Wilson, also of Stirling. The car’s original registration was ‘GHX 6B’.
In 1976 the DB5 was brought from the UK to Germany by a Mr. Michael Ebinger on behalf of Mr. Jürgen Füßl. Mr. Füßl did not drive the car very often in Germany, and when he did it was only with a red (temporary) licence plate. It was never registered in Germany. He had the car repainted, but was so disappointed with the result that he decided to have it completely restored. Since Mr. Füßl had passed away in the meantime, his wife had decided to disperse his vehicle collection and through a vendor in the UK, we were able to acquire this wonderful Aston Martin DB5 Project. It should be noted that the engine is not original to this chassis.
This Aston Martin DB5 project presents an incredible opportunity to be part of automotive history. Restore, customize, and make your mark on this icon’s legacy.
