Description

A classic James Bond Aston Martin DB Five, once neglected and valued at just £500,000, has been fully restored and is now worth a staggering £1,000,000. The car, famous from films like Goldfinger and Thunderball, was restored after four years of meticulous work, involving two thousand five hundred hours of repairs. The restoration process highlighted the immense effort involved, with experts noting it would have been easier to build a new car. The car, now in pristine condition, is one of only thirty-nine in the world, making its preservation even more significant. The owner, John Williams, described his first drive in the car after forty-five years as mind-blowing, and plans to drive it sparingly to protect it from the elements.
