Aston Martin DB5
Restoration.

Bought for £900 pounds. Now worth £1 million pounds.

// THE STORY

Bought for nine
hundred pounds.
Left to rot.

Bought for £900 via an advertisement in the pages of Motor Sport, this Aston Martin was left to deteriorate on the driveway of the owner. Children clambered over the iconic Bond car as it sat rotting over a period of almost 50 years until the owner finally took the plunge and had it restored.

16DS producer Marc Bow collaborated with global PR agency Timbuktu Content on this production for over 4 years. The final film triggered millions in engagement and was featured on BBC Breakfast.
