Happy Birthday: Aston DB
Aston Martin is celebrating 70 years of its famous DB models. The initials of famous owner David Brown adorn just under half the company's models - models which are still going strong today.
Over the past 70 years, DB-badged Aston Martins have become some of the most desirable classics and have also won some of motorsport’s greatest prizes, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the World Sports Car Championship.

DB5 (1963-65)
The DB5 arrived in 1963 - the year in which it was also immortalised by its gadget-laden appearance in the third James Bond film Goldfinger. Many regard it as the prettiest of all Astons. Under the bonnet was a triple-carb 4.0-litre that was good for 282bhp. Early cars got four-speeds with overdrive before a five-speed gearbox became standard.
