The rare 1964 Aston Martin DB5 that had gone through a full restoration including an engine rebuild, suspension and gearbox overhaul followed by 20-years in dry storage was sold Vero for a price of £825,000 (~ $1,013,000). The car was a highly-sought after right hand drive silver birch model which had a red leather interior trip (similar to the one on James Bond's movie car).
