Not having had much success on the Classic Section I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts or better still recognised this DB5 . Curiosity is my main reason for asking . Its a strange sort of Vehicle to "rock up" in Kings Lynn perhaps better suited to Bonhams or Silverstone Auctions , just goes to show "there's no telling" as the old granny used to say .

Yes its at their higher end of costs. Looking at the images, perhpas an older restoration. Has a nice patina now.

Its funny how auctions sometimes attract odd cars. Back in the early 2000's I popped into an auction in bermondsey, south london as it was opposite my office. There was a fiesta red Db6 there. Auto, but still looked vgc... As a young man, my bank wouldnt loan me the £18k it went for on the night.

Doesn't have Middle Eastern pedigree so might sell well in that condition

I would have thought it inconceivable that someone hasn't come across this car in the past , if I get a chance I may ask Des Smail up in Olney as its the sort of stock he normally carries .

I wonder if we will be saying the same thing about the current crop of AM cars in the future? This example is absolutely beautiful.

Beautiful. I have the Corgi edition but it's probably not worth as much as the one in this auction as my one is a left hooker, without a service history.
