The DB5 Convertible was built from new in left hand drive configuration, making it one of just 39 examples produced from the total of 123 cars
Originally delivered to Dr. Morris A Sonderegger of Reno, Nevada, original options confirmed on the accompanying build sheet list Normalair air conditioning, a Bosch Koln TR radio with power operated aerial, two Marchal fog lamps, and two detachable headrests are just some of the non-standard equipment listed
Originally painted Dubonnet red, and upholstered in Black Connolly leather, Dr. Sonderegger’s DB5 Convertible would have certainly turned heads while driving through the desert. By 2011 the car had found its way to Brussels and was in need of restoration, the owner commissioned world-renowned Aston Martin specialist R.S. Williams, to conduct a full body-off restoration
Invoices on file show that the original engine was striped, cleaned, and inspected; areas of the block that were corroded were fixed with carbide before work was undertaken to bring the engine up to R.S. Williams 4.2-liter specification. The carburetors were also stripped, cleaned, and rebuilt to the higher specification. New Avon tires were fitted, including on the spare. The cooling system was upgraded to R.S. William specification, and all electrics were tested, repaired, and uprated, as necessary
Finished in the classic colour combination of Silver Birch over red Connolly leather with matching Wilton carpeting, a truly magnificent example of this iconic model
