Airfix 50089 Aston Martin DB5 (Starter Set)

The Aston Martin DB5 is a British sports car that was first presented to the public in 1963. Its serial production started in the same year and lasted only until 1965 - only 1,063 copies of this car were produced during it.

The DB5 model was developed and put into production to complement the commercial offer of the Aston Martin brand and replace it with the DB4 model, although it was based on many of its components. Compared to its predecessor, it differed significantly in the style of the body, which became more streamlined and positively influenced the aerodynamic properties of the car. Significant changes also took place under the hood, as a new power unit was used, which was still 6-cylinder, but had significantly more maximum power and displacement. This contributed to the improvement of the car's performance. The Aston Martin DB5 has become an almost cult car thanks to frequent "appearances" in films with James Bond. He appeared on the screen in such films as "Goldfinger" or "Operation Thunderbolt". The unit price of a used car of this type can reach the value of PLN 3.2 million.
