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!!

@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

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!

awesome car
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.

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.

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

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 :)
