Plato goes behind the scenes of Aston Martin's immaculate restorations | Fifth Gear

[@user-qq2mo1ek2r]

A truly stunningly beautiful car.

[@Kapil-Patel]

Make new episodes of Fifth Gear please.

I love the way the wooden steering wheel flexed on that DB5.

[@henryviii6341]

Just LOOK at it. Every single angle every inch of bodywork every part of the interior is iconic. Going SLOW in this vs a Bugatti Veyron. DB5 Superleggera 007 model anytime.

I’ve done rolling for double decker busses and believe that’s hard!!!

[@golach420]

Plato straight in there asking how much. :-)

[@klaushaunstrupchristensen7252]

It definitely looks more special than a modern Aston Martin. I absolutely love the narrowness of the vehicle, a narrow car is so much more like able to drive on B roads compared to wide monstrosities which are offered nowadays. My only problem with this DB5 is that on a daily basis I will actually prefer to drive a Citroën C4 E, which probably also is a bit cheaper to buy, use and maintain 🤔

[@russcooke5671]

Little secret the DB5. In gold finger was actually a modified DB4 as the DB5 wasn’t ready for a few months.

[@adriankatsikides3390]

DB4 GT series five actually, and yes Q does call it DB 5

[@russcooke5671]

@@adriankatsikides3390 it’s a standard DB4.The GT is the short wheelbase version with no back seats. 👌👌👌

[@adriankatsikides3390]

@@russcooke5671 not sure where that info comes from but my brochures say different. I have a feeling that the first were built on the fours' platform but I could be mistaking that for the first DB 6's built on the fives platform

[@russcooke5671]

@@adriankatsikides3390 hi Adrian. When you look at the DB4 GT It’s a lot shorter the the 5. Or the 4 in normal DB form

[@adriankatsikides3390]

@@russcooke5671 from series three onwards they got longer for the extended boot, the first- chassis DP199 also was the first to sport the cowled headlights to evolve into the five then the six which was not superleggera anymore

Panel beating: probably the most-skilled practical job in the last 140 years....

[@Czechbound]

Connery said that he didn't really like the car, and complained that the peddle box was far too small.

[@isthereanybodyoutthere9397]

Well that is that whinger to a tee.

[@cameraprepper7938]

I think he was right ! It should have been a Bentley !

[@filmopfil]

i heard they restore a lot of old versions and even produce new old cars and sell them for market price of a old one on the market . i never heard someone do this i think its increase value of the brand .

[@emanuell5926]

Why was a digital radio equipped in the replica?

[@justinejiew36]

🤤🤤🤤 I learn a power phrase today, “I enjoy watching people watching me…” If only the wallet allows, I want it too 🙋🏻‍♂️‼️

[@alistairjenkins7973]

Stunning and amazing

[@robertlloyd7493]

Great item thanks 👍

[@twcmaker]

Seriously cool car 👏👏👏

[@greathey1234]

Experts out there, is a 2005 Vantage V8 a good investment?

[@johnsim3722]

If you keep it for a long time, yes, but it will take a long time before it's a classic. But it will get there before any of Reichman's designs, if they ever will.

[@johnennis4586]

Only if you don't drive it, it will cost more in repairs than whatever you could sell it for

[@mileswilliams1585]

How out of date are these prices!? £25k+ for a Lagonda!?

[@AndieBlack13]

The modern utter accuracies of machines in the assembles of cars has long since exceeded "hand-built" tolerances. Glorification of human built parts & assemblies is akin to glorifying a fine horse opposite a modern spacecraft.

[@Marc-zn7ok]

If I only had the cash!

[@cv5645]

Never enjoyed Plato commentating, this is the same. The DB5 is a wonderful thing though.

[@jel5034]

Killjoy was 'ere.

[@amarjittalukdar1967]

Bristol 403 would have been a better, "Bond 007 " car .

[@cybertrophic]

Actually, he was supposed to drive an old blower Bentley painted battleship grey.

[@russcooke5671]

A Bristol 493 would have been good for M. Not the female M though.

[@adriankatsikides3390]

I would NOT agree the level of detail....... DB 6 headlight covers for a start, no side repeaters, and not quite a DB5 ( no badges on gadget car which was DB4 GT series five) so rubbish really

[@davidstuart4915]

rubbish? ...a tad strong old man!

[@adriankatsikides3390]

@@davidstuart4915 the article/presentation is rubbish I mean ,not the car obviously. I've been in that place more than once, which was works service in my day. Even the works put DB 6 headlight covers on DB 5 restoration.... hideous!

@@adriankatsikides3390 What is the difference between a DB6 and a DB5 headlight cover?

[@adriankatsikides3390]

@@tamasszabo8824 A DB 5 headlight cover has four screws to hold the bezel on, a DB6 cover has what looks like a tear drop at the very base of the bezel, it is very noticeable once you know, it is the first thing I look at. You will never see the teardrop on a DB5 brochure because of course they were for the next generation.. I consider myself 'expert' on the 007 gadget car vs golf club car vs others and even Worrals ' book has several errors in it!
