The Aston Martin DB5's 60th anniversary: check out the pictures of the old-timer alongside the latest DB12, its spiritual successor
Aston has chosen to mark the diamond birthday with a photoshoot, alongside the rather gorgeous-looking latest. It’s fascinating to dissect the bloodline, soak up the shape-shifting haunches and grilles morphing from hand-beaten aluminium to more machined profiles of the present day.
The DB5 was in production at Newport Pagnell for just two years, in which 887 DB5 saloons, 123 convertibles and 12 bespoke coachbuilt shooting brakes were made. For all its exposure, it remains a rare sight. Gaydon name-checks The Beatles’ Sir Paul McCartney and George Harrison and Rolling Stone Mick Jagger as owners of the DB5 in period, underlining its pop appeal. But for many, its star turn was as the gadget-strewn star of the 007 franchise.
‘It is only right that, as it turns 60, we take a moment to look back and reflect on this car’s incredible role in our storied 110-year heritage. We’re incredibly proud that the DB lineage continues today with the critically acclaimed DB12, which like those came before it, is a celebration of all we love about British handbuilt sports cars, with a new injection of the latest technology and highest levels of performance.
