Aston Martin DB5 History

The Aston Martin DB5, produced from 1963 to 1965, is frequently hailed as the most famous car ever; largely due to its starring role as James Bond’s chosen machine in Goldfinger, finished in Silver Birch. Its creation signified a development from the DB4, introducing a larger 4.0-litre straight-six engine, advanced ZF five-speed gearbox, and refinements such as electric windows and Girling disc brakes. Bodywork was shaped by Touring of Milan’s Superleggera technique, ensuring graceful proportions and lightweight construction.

DB5s were offered in coupe (saloons), convertible, and rare Shooting Brake estate configurations. The introduction of the Vantage model in 1964 brought more performance with triple Weber carburettors. Colour options marked an era where personalisation was paramount; Silver Birch led the range, but stunning shades like Dubonnet Rosso, Midnight Blue, and various greens (Sage and Goodwood) became signatures in their own right (see our collection for classic Aston Martin paint codes such as AST0445 and AST9246). Only 1,059 DB5s were produced, making each survivor a cherished collector’s item.

Throughout the years, the DB5 has undergone shifts in collectability, celebrity ownership (The Beatles, Peter Sellers), and periodic resurrections by Aston Martin for both enthusiasts and 007 films. The rare paint options and their codes are essential for authentic restorations, something PaintNuts supports with expert-mixed, classic touch-up paints.
