Abandoned Aston Martin

[Mr A Lawrence]

Does anyone have a pic of the famous db5 in North Wales that's been stuck on some guys driveway?

[New POD]

No but I'm going to Ynys Mon On Friday for 2 days so if you've got a post code I'll maybe pop past.

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Can't be this one , because it's a DB6 and in Buckinghamshire.

I couldn't get closer than about 2 fields away, but both the Aston and the E-Type seem only to be shells

[lincolndanny]

I can't un-see what I've just seen above. Jeez!

[richardmorris]

I’m in north wales tonight, and it doesn’t seem to be on my drive sadly.

[Cavcraft]

Who was our resident North Wales spotter, 'Brown Nova' I think? Pretty sure he had pictures of it.

[Wack]

A guy on the maserati forum said his family moved to australia in 1977, his dad had a DB5 , nobody wanted it , couldn't take it with him so he ended up taking the dealers offer of £3000 for it , when you look back at all the cars we could have bought if we'd had the room and spare cash

 

who'd have thought what a Mk1 escort mexico would be worth today , in the early 80s a mate towed one to the crusher because they decided it was beyond repair but it was nothing like the ones you see being dragged out of a field selling for ££££££ on ebay

Where is it?

[Jams]

It’s in Mold! Sat next to a old proton I was a few houses down the other day

My old boss had a DB6. He sold it to the guy that owns Transound near Christies Hospital in Manchester for about £20,000 in 96 or 97. It sat in the showroom and I used to polish it every week, what a car that was.

Autoshite full house; a Coleman Milne and a David Brown tractor.

Speaking of Astons, does anyone know of the green DB7 that's been neglected in a council estate in south bristol? Saw it the other day and checked the reg ecz 8841 made for interesting reading.

I know the chap who runs Vitesse Motor Services in Mold. If any of you north wales shiters need work doing, i can highly recommend.

So I’m I!! Windscreen on a cx5 Mazda!

 

Follow Hendy road to top of the hill round the corner to the end go right and follow the road you will then see the Aston

^ aston-ishing pic!

I thought times where you would see that are long gone.

[somewhatfoolish]

Given the telephone numbers even completely fucked David Brown era products attract at auction it is a source of wonder.

Not ex-film props? The 5 in Skyfall was mostly copy.  Tenuous claim to fame Deptford is where Bond's 5 is stored before he drives M to Skyfall and nearby you buy cheap used tyres...

[lesapandre]

Get a David Brown tractor instead - the original DB

[fordperv]

May I be the first to say yes it needs saving but do not paint

[Dead_E23]

I wonder what lives in that garage that is important enough to displace it from the warm and dry?

 

Depending on who rules the roost in that house, I'd say it is either a Bugatti Royale or a washing machine and tumble dryer. My money is on the latter.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I say leave it where it is!!!! At the moment its open for anyone to see regardless of income, age, nationality, whatever else, where else can you see a million pound car rusting away on the driveway of a suburban semi? Don't take that away from people. The council should get a preservation order on it so it can continue to benefit the general public.

Imagine how many times the doorbell has gone everyday of someone wanting to take it off their hands for 10 grand.

[fordperv]

Imagine how many times the doorbell has gone everyday of someone wanting to take it off their hands for scrap value because it's a *rusty old car

Here it is on Google Street View, though the picture's from 2009.
