- Beautiful Deep Metallic Sierra Blue - Factory 5-Speed Gearbox - An extremely well cared for example - Maintained for last 25 years by R.S Williams - One of only 84 such cars built - A superb Great British Grand Tourer Few cars capture the grace and confidence of 1960s Britain quite like the Aston Martin DB5 Convertible. Elegant, understated and wonderfully proportioned, it was the car that cemented Aston Martin’s reputation as a maker of truly world-class grand tourers. For many, it remains the perfect blend of beauty, craftsmanship and performance. Chassis DB5C/1298/R is one of only 84 right-hand-drive convertibles produced, making it a very special example of an already rare model. Finished in Deep Metallic Sierra Blue, the colour shows off the Touring-designed aluminium bodywork beautifully, giving the car a calm, confident presence without being ostentatious. Inside, the Grey Connolly leather has softened attractively with age, providing the right balance between originality and comfort, the sort of interior you’d happily spend a day in. This DB5 has led a careful and well-documented life. It has been looked after by R.S. Williams for the last 25 years, during which time it received a comprehensive mechanical rebuild in the mid-1990s. Engine, gearbox, suspension, axle and braking systems were all restored to proper Aston Martin standards, and the car has seen only light use since. It starts easily, pulls cleanly and feels exactly as it should: smooth, solid and full of character. The factory 5-speed gearbox makes this car particularly enjoyable on the open road, transforming it from a showpiece into a genuinely capable tourer. The driving experience is everything you’d hope for, relaxed when you want it to be, yet with enough power and response to remind you why the DB5 became such a legend. Presented today in beautiful order, DB5C/1298/R strikes the perfect balance between preservation and presentation. The paintwork retains its depth and lustre, the chrome is bright and every detail speaks of long-term, conscientious ownership. For collectors who appreciate authenticity, provenance and proper maintenance history, this is a DB5 Convertible that stands out for all the right reasons. A car to drive, to enjoy and to be proud of, a superb Great British Grand Tourer ready for the next chapter of its life.
