Aston Martin DB5 engine sound accelerating James Bond car

[wurzelsepp678]

i looooooooooooooooove that sound!!

usually i don't like old englis cars because after each 20 km they're damaged :D but the DB5 is absolutely amazing!

[MyLifeRSC]

That is a beautiful sound, nice car dude

[ingareinar007]

Wow! "Just like James Bond!" High class stuff man! :)

[baltostella]

Sweet sweet music to my ears!

[jungfraujoch11333]

Mmmmmusic

[freezyguy666]

So, it does not have overheating issues?

One more reason to collect more money

[code2611]

Nice submariner,goes well with the car

[DonRosa11]

awesome car

[alfistii1]

The new Aston's like the DBR9 look very good, but park a mint DB5 in silver next

to it and i think most petrolheads or motorists will agree the pure italian style is

in a different league, and ultra cool too, not every Aston is cool and the manufacturer

can't try persuading the public that it is because Jaguar tried that and it made it

the opposite Un-cool.. the DB5 is cool, it just is...Daniel Craig or bond will always

look cool in a DB5..

[ruddytechnik]

@alfistii1 which Jaguar was that? Agree about the DB5 - but it is also cool because of its history not only its styling - but the stlying led to the history so... The Italians have styled a disproportionately large number of the most beautiful cars - Bertone's Citroen DS is one of my favourite cars ever. To me only the XK120, E type, BMW 507, 300SL(R) and Bugatti Atlantic punctuate the work of the Italians on my 'most beautiful' list. Fortunately there are many others with much charm. :)

[alfistii1]

@ruddytechnik ; XJ6 i think, this point was rammed home on launch by parent

company Ford.

[ruddytechnik]

@alfistii1 I have found an exception - the Rolls Royce Carmargue. yuk.

[DaBoogie049]

careful! the suspension of this car is almost 50 years old!

[alfistii1]

Beautiful car, bet most people don't know it's Italian.

It was designed by Carozziera Touring of Milan, penned by Federico Formenti,

And beautifully constructed by Italian craftsmen using the superleggera method.

[ruddytechnik]

@alfistii1 really? thats interesting. so thats the body not the chassis as well? The new astons are styled by a Dane and Ian Callum I think. Bentley's by a Belgian. Although the best looking Porsches in my opinion were styled by Tony Hatter - the 993 and the Carrera GT. :D These symbols of national pride (cars in general) are often far more international than most would like to believe.

[alfistii1]

@ruddytechnik ; I don't think the Aston became a icon due to the chassis, Touring

also designed a Lamborghini in the same decade with similar styling 350 GT i think.

The aston would not be such an icon if it was not styled by Italian's, it's elegant

and extraordinarily beautiful, cool too. Italian's have a natural gift for style and it

has always been that way..still is. Built with a flare for style and passion that

attract's the enthusiast like no other..Italian cars know no peers..

[audittracer08]

If I had an Aston Martin DB5, I would do 100 mph down any road. The sound of that motor revving is music to my ears. The pure enjoyment that one gets going that fast is exciting. Many will never experience such exciting ride such as driving a DB5 which IMHO is the most exciting car Aston has ever bult. Way to go Simondgb.

[joopio]

@banoffee2001 why???

Go sit on your horse and take the countrylane and move to the nothern part of scotland where people like you should buy a house....your horse and all the sheep there is a perfect combination!

[banoffee2001]

@joopio ..Are you completely fucking stupid. What an idiotic,pathetic comment to come out with.

Fuckers like you and that wanker driving the Aston kill people.

You total wanker. Grow up for fucks sake

[joopio]

[banoffee2001]

[hellohello66666]

Time and a place for speed. Boy racer

[BMan100]

SEX for the ears.. GOD and the sound of those gear snatches WOW!

[renaultlover1]

does it have seatbelts?

[EXTREME4YEARSTOCOME]

sounds nice

[dominicrusho]

Nice car, nice Submariner! I wouldn't drink to many Martini's though before going out in the DB5...

[banoffee2001]

Kind of response you'd expect from a 10 year old.

[banoffee2001]

simondgb...thats the kind of response you'd expect from a 10 year old. Grow up moron

[audittracer08]

I wis wonderinf if you kept the original Tri SU combo or did you switch to the Vantage version Webers? From the sound of the cars it soulnds like the SUs are emoloyed, What a wonderful sound. Also I am curious about the exhaist. Do you have have a photo of the exhust system? Some debebate as to whether Astons used round or orval shaped sillencers. I say round.

Thanks for posting, listen to it everynight before I drift off to sleep.

[simondgb]

You are correct sir! It is a tri-Carb setup. Te exhaust is round and not oval made by quick silver. Sadly, I sold the car at the Bonhams Auction held at the factory back in May 2009. I did however buy a DB4 which as soon as its back on the road I'll be posting a video. Thank you for listening.

[simondgb]

Also, for the record. My Aston NEVER overheated. Not once, not ever.

[sootyferrari65]

@simondgb I know right? I have a 1972 MGB GT and that has never gone wrong.. I only had one mild issue, but that was a very simple fix and it works just fine

[amarsbarr]

I love the sound of the engine!!!!! :D and Jeremy Clarkson is a dick head

[EXTREME4YEARSTOCOME]

@amarsbarr you dont know what a dickhead is so why are you showing everyone your stupidity

[bigjagjim]

I love them but will have to put up with a e type.Dont gun them when cold because they tend to blow back through the carbs and end up on fire.What a shape of car sex on wheels.THE 60'S IN ITS BEST

[Nikovercetti]

the engine sound reminds me of the goldfinger scene where this db5 against the mustang..haha

[simondgb]

My baby just sold at Bonhams last month DB5/1677/R I hear a lady bought it. I will be posting some vids of my other Aston DB4/342/R

[englandman2008]

how much she sell for?

[99hjhm]

Astons of this time did not have a overheating issue...... I work on Astons, and own a few like this.

Do you??

[tomcat561]

Nice Rolex!!! Is that the Bond model?? No crown guard?? Make A VIdeo of it!!

[audittracer08]

Aston Martin DB5 is not known for overheating like the early XK 120 and XK 150 Jags of the 1950s. British cars got a bad rap because of the Lucus electrics. But truth is they were no worse than any other cars of the time. The DB5 is timeless and a piece of art despite what Top Gear says. Good work on the restro. Its a beauty!!

[limitlessracer]

what did top gear say bad about the e-type and db5

[antimainstream]

Overheating all the time and breaking down.

[limitlessracer]

I know jeremy clarkson talked about the overheating problems. I just found it funny that this guys says the db5 doesnt overheat but it does.

[bigpeteswackshack]

it doesnt over heat. i own one. i really nimble but surprisingly squerrely. i had to replace the suspension and out new disc brakes in it. the suspension is great and it handles phenominally well but the suspension is where it lacked. maybe cause its old and hasnt been changed since the 70s but that were i had my problems. no cooling problems what so ever. i never had it over heat. excellent buy for 54k. -just for the record i am a mechanic and a die hard aston martin collector and other cars.

[neraru]

I'd say second most beautiful car of all time. The first being the Jaguar E Type.

Mr Munky

[rednecksinspace]

You lucky man. What I wouldn't give for one of those.

[chrymetyme24]

beatiful car but extremly unreliable

[hipwell4342]

Er... Why???

[chrymetyme24]

always overheating, bad electrics, first astin to have a five speed gear box so loads of the original db5s in 1963 went wrong. most of the few that are still on the roads today have been updated with new electrics, more power, anti lock brakes and stuff like that. i suppose it is worth it if you have the money because its one of the best looking cars of all time.

[hipwell4342]

DB5's Never had a overheating problem.

Few that are still on the road today... There are very few that aren't still on the road, and anti-lock brakes.... I don't think so.

[0cuntzilla0]

de dude obviously watched topgear were their DB5 overheated, and since jeremy clarkson says so, every DB5 overheats, people believe anything these days. And even if it were unreliable, it's still the most beautiful, legendary, wanted car in the world. I could die happy if i driven such a car once

[markbart]

When you shift gears, make sure you don't touch the red button.

[BluesDuke]

Only if someone you like is in the passenger seat ;)

[bigtomlow]

yes lovely car, was that 100mph though?

[iskman]

You are one lucky guy...omg that car is a CLASSIC!! I hope I'm driving that one day! Thanks for the video Post more!

[artofwheels]

mechanical masterpiece!

[finalfantasyXyuna]

just don't touch the cigarette lighter

[GabrieleSM]

Awesome

[simondgb]

Glad you noticed the Nato Strap on a 6538 Sub no crown guard.

I have posted a new video of the DB5 1677/R restored from Blue (not orignal) back to glorious Silver Birch (as per the James Bond car). And, Yes this REALLY is one of the rare factory Silver Birch cars as per the build sheet also in the video. Once Lincoln Scott has finised the interior, I will also post a video on that too. Enjoy :)

[Ic3cold1]

nice nato strap :-) oh yes.. the car, fantastic !

[Xiber1]

I would love to drive that car

[srevnex]

music...

[oliking91]

were you pretending to be james bond....i bet you were!

[iwannacar]

I would.

[oliking91]

i would too!

[librastars]

Cool!

[simondgb]

Yes, Standard very old exhaust. The car is restored and ready for some new videos which I will post next time I am in England. The new updated 4.2 Liter unleaded engine rebuilt by Martin Brewer of Runnymede sounds fantastic. Much deeper and throatier.

[workingclassbum]

I would kill to own that car

[timmofella]

beautiful car driven like an aston should be. enthusiastically.

[aarhap]

What an extremely cool car. I wish I had one...

[rapidlok]

Me too! I wish i bought one 12 years ago when I checked the market but thougt 50.000 pounds a bit expensive, the same cars sell for 120.000 pounds now! But I will buy one before i die!

[simondgb]

... Notice the Bames Bond 6538 Rolex Submariner with vintage NATO strap 007 :)

[Stevieraylittlewing]

Dressed for the part!

[OPHYCLIDE]

For a "silver birch" DB5, it's very green....

[simondgb]

Actually, the video was taken when the car was still Blue metallic. It was recently subject to a bare metal respray by Alan Smith in original Silver Birch. Will soon have some new videos to post.

[Stevieraylittlewing]

Looking forward Simon! Thanks for sharing!! Any chance of some track day outing footage? This has put a big smile on my face .. THANKYOU! By the way, is that a standard exhaust - it sounds very healthy!

[2509SilverLink]

Love that car. What colour is yours?

[thejackal9mm]

Beautiful. One of my fav European cars of all-time, along with the original AMV8, Ferrari 250GT's, and Mercedes 280's...

[BBQjust4u]

I'm SO envious. I'm a HUGE Aston fan, but I can't afford one, especially a DB5.

I want one SO BAD.

[bobwilliams3]

sigh. We're not the only :S

[jet7111]

how you guys drive on the other side of the rode beats me guess it's just they way you have always been like vice versa over here

[Mickey222]

Very nice.
