Iconic Aston Martin DB5 Turns 60 !

Is there a more famous car on the planet? The tifosi may proffer a scarlet Ferrari, Brits may suggest the Mini and the French will surely put forward a 2CV or similar. But for many, the Aston Martin DB5 is the most famous car of all, spilling from popular culture into mainstream consciousness.

We’ll even allow the use of the overused epithet ‘iconic’ to describe James Bond’s most memorable transport.

The two-doors coupe was first shown at the 1963 Frankfurt motor show, a point not lost on us as we return from this autumn’s Munich Motoe Show, the German salon’s successor. It must’ve been one helluva show six decades ago; the Porsche 911 was also unleashed to the world at the IAA that same year.

In all, a mere 887 coupes, 123 convertibles, and 12 shooting brakes were built. Even by the standards of the day, the numbers were tiny, especially considering total U.K. car production in 1963 alone was more than 1.8 million units, according to Aston Martin.
