A beautiful 1965 Aston Martin DB5, the model immortalised in the 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger, is set to go under the hammer in the county.
The car, which is estimated to be worth between £275,000 and £325,000, is being sold without reserve by Silverstone Auctions, at the Silverstone Classic race meeting on Saturday, July 27.
The car has undergone an 18-month restoration, and has been fully stripped and repainted in royal blue metallic paint.
Paul Campbell, consignment manager at Silverstone Auctions, said: “The early addition of this amazing DB5 has set a very high benchmark for our sale at the Silverstone Classic. Being able to offer this best of breed example in Aston Martin’s centenary year bodes well for another fantastic auction, which I’m sure will include many other iconic classics.”
Viewing of all of the lots will be available in the Wing all day on Friday, July 26, and the morning of the sale on July 27.
