Chassis DB5/2266/L was originally purchased by Mr P.A. Lacey of Fort Lauderdale Florida and supplied in White or ‘Platinum’ from the AM colour chart with Black Connolly Vaumol leather trim and all-important Whitewall Avon Turbospeed GT tyres to match the George Harrison DB5. The Factory records confirm the guarantee was issued 20th July 1965 and registered for the road as DGY 336C.

A successful American businessman based in London with homes in Spain and South Africa, Price Andrew Lacey or ‘Andy’ to all that knew him well used the DB5 extensively to tour Europe and South Africa during his time in London. Many of these journeys were recorded on handwritten logs including those from South Africa where the DB5 was used for road trips between his property in Johannesburg and Cape Town, around 1000 miles. It must have been an incredible sight on the roads of SA in the 60s.

In all, Andy clocked up 62,000 miles in just over four years before selling the DB5 to fellow American and NASA employee based in Spain – Alvin Lopez. Returning to the US in 1970, Lopez shipped the DB5 to the USA, its intended destination following production at Newport Pagnell in 65.

Alvin Lopez kept the DB5 for a short time and advertised the car for sale in 1971. Utah based petrol head Wilfred Day saw the advert and made the trip to Pomona California where he purchased chassis 2266/L for $3800. A big fan of native American Muscle cars, Wilfred was keen to add a European GT to his collection and was drawn to the DB5’s beguiling lines.
Wilfred would keep the DB5 for 35 years, until 2007 clocking up a further 40,000 miles on the odometer. During his lengthy ownership the DB5 became a much-loved part of the family regularly taking part in AMOC rallies and shows.

The story jumps forward to 2015 when a US based English film and TV Director based in Los Angeles spots the DB5 at a dealers based in San Diego. Before purchasing the DB5, he visits Wilfred Day and learns about the history of the car from someone who ultimately knows it intimately. Fascinated by the history and background, the DB5 is purchased with the intension of a full restoration to factory original specification.

Choosing Cars International to carry out a total restoration of the car, chassis 2266/L returned to the UK in its 50th year. Completed towards the end of 2016, the restoration included upgrading the engine to 4.2 litres.

The Aston lives once again back in the US, based in Los Angeles and is for sale worldwide with Cars International Heritage.

Ford’s stupendously quick and fantastically clever all electric powered version of an American icon, not currently available in UK or EU. We understand this to be one of only 3 F-150 Lightnings currently UK registered.

• 0-60 in 4.4 seconds from the equivalent output of as much as 571 bhp and 775 ft/lb torque from the dual motors
• Most aerodynamic F-150 ever
• Up to 300 miles of range
• 907kg payload plus 400 Litres of storage in the ‘front’ boot along with a 4.5-tonne towing limit

The lightning is unbelievably fast for something so big, offering staggering performance and handling whether from a standstill or while moving all the way up to motorway speeds, In fact it is a totally alien sensation for a truck – more akin to high performance SUV’s. As is the glorious cabin, covered in the sort of soft-touch leathers and pliable plastics that are usually also found on the high-end SUV’s.

Ordered and supplied new to Beverley Hills California USA and Albert R ‘Cubby’ Broccoli the US film producer most noted for producing many of the James Bond films together with Harry Saltzman.

In 1987 Cubby was producing the latest Bond movie ‘The Living Daylights’ with Timothy Dalton as 007. This new Bond film and new 007 also marked the return of Bond driving the latest Aston Martin V8 adorned with Q branch modifications. Two different Aston Martin models were used in filming—a V8 Volante convertible, and later for the Czechoslovakia scenes, a hard-top non-Volante V8 saloon badged to look like the Volante. The Volante was a production model owned by then Aston Martin Lagonda chairman, Victor Gauntlett.

Broccoli ordered this AM V8 Volante in Masons black with natural leather interior and BBS alloys. The US spec impact bumpers and marker lights are all still present.

Broccoli kept the car until his death and the family decided to sell the Aston a few years later to a private buyer.

The Aston has covered just 19,000 miles from new and is in superb condition in all respects and comes with the original build sheets, handbook and sales invoice plus other correspondence. Currently UK registered and taxes paid, the Aston is available for Worldwide shipping including a possible return to the USA.

Please contact us for further details.

One of just seventeen V-12 Rapides produced

• Proven award-winning specialist restoration
• Cosmetically and mechanically superb
• W.O. Bentley’s advanced engineering masterpiece
• Modified to Le Mans specification with 4 carburetors
• Highly collectable and eligible for events Worldwide

Considered by some to be the masterpiece of W.O. Bentley’s engineering skills following his departure from Rolls Royce, the Lagonda V12 Rapide was launched to the world in 1938 as conflict loomed over Europe. The V12 model featured an all new 4480 cc 60 degree V12 engine designed by W. O. Bentley.

The Rapide V12 was introduced by Lagonda as a high-performance luxury grand-tourer. Designed by Lagonda’s in-house designer, Frank Feely who went on to work for Aston Martin, the Rapide DHC remains a strikingly beautiful car, offering an understated British take on the 1930s streamliner look. The DHC was built on a shortened chassis with rakish two-seater bodywork. A small removable rear bench seat is located behind the driver and passenger.

One of the last cars produced from a total of just 17 – V12 Rapides built, chassis 14103 has the lower radiator shell, Sanction 3 engine and was equipped with the new modified connection rods, water pump, oil suction filter, thermostat, oil level and filler, trailing front brake shoes and undrilled front brake drums. These modifications are all recorded on the factory build sheet for the car.

Production was short-lived before the disruption of the war in 1940. Chassis 14103 was completed in the September of 1939, just weeks after war broke out, and was soon exported to the United States, where it remained until 1989. On its return to the UK it was restored, and its V12 upgraded to effective Le Mans spec, with four carburettors and modified heads.

Factory records confirm that the Rapide was originally delivered in light blue with blue-grey leather, grey hood and walnut woodwork with two carburettors. Post restoration by the current owner the Rapide is now solid black over grey metallic with tobacco brown leather seats and carpets. Functional safety belts are fitted, trimmed to match the stylish interior. The current owner also sanctioned the conversion to Le Mans Specification with four carburettors, using a new head supplied by the previous owner, as used on the two modified V12s with four carburettor engines that were entered for the 1939 24 Hours of Le Mans where they finished third and fourth.

Purchased by the current owner at the Goodwood sale of Lagonda’s, chassis was previously owned by the late Derek Green from 2002-2005. A photographic record of the award-winning marque specialist restoration is on file and available to view on request.

This extremely rare and highly collectable Lagonda V12 Rapide is both cosmetically and mechanically superb and eligible for events Worldwide.

An original UK Right Hand Drive DB6 Vantage engine car converted to Short Chassis Volante specification.

• DB6 conversion to Short Chassis specification by marque specialists circa 2012
• Upgraded to full Vantage specification
• Fully documented build / restoration
• Stunning alternative to a standard DB5 / DB6

Built by a UK marque specialist and completed circa 2018 in LHD configuration to showcase their manufacturing and restoration skills for a European based collector and established client of the business.

Just 37 Short Chassis Volantes were originally built by Aston Martin during 1965 and 1966. Essentially a crossover model between the outgoing DB5 and the new model DB6. The original cars used the remaining shorter chassis from the DB5. The Short Chassis was the first model to use the ‘Volante’ name.

A complete photographic record of the car details the extent of its build and quality of workmanship to produce what could possibly be identified as a continuation car.

Supplied in Gun Metal Grey Metallic with red hide interior and black hood, the Short Chassis has an upgraded Vantage specification engine with Weber Carburetors and upgraded 5 speed manual gearbox.
