One of the only 12 iconic DB5 Shooting Brake built.
Long term family ownership history.
Much cherished car presented in outstanding condition.

This amazing DB5 Shooting Brake is chassis 1411/R, with engine number 400/1384. Further to its building sheet, it was ordered by Wilsons Builders of Northampton in Snow Shadow Grey, Charcoal trimming and with the ZF gearbox. It was first registered in the UK on February 4th 1964 and is one of only 8 RHD examples later modified in Shooting Brake by Radford. Finished in "Goodwood Green" it is now a "one off" in the series of DB5/DB6 shooting brakes.

Period documentation also shows that the car was serviced at the factory until February 1967 with 27849 miles on the clock.

The car is believed to have been owned for many years by the Dr Power family of Midhurst (only 17 miles from the Goodwood circuit) until 2008. Vintage cars are rarely documented photographically but our Aston comes with a nice photograph taken in the late 1960s/early 1970s showing its registration " TNH 36 " which it retains to this day.

The next owner was a prominent Aston Martin collector and DB4 Zagato owner in 2008. 1411/R has undergone an ancient but high quality restoration, its immaculate condition and flawless running show all the care it has received. It has clearly been much cherished throughout its life. Its impeccable service history dates back to the 1990s with leading Aston Martin specialist RS Williams.

The Aston Martin Shooting Brakes created a new universe in the automotive world, the one of the high performance utility vehicles. Without abandoning its lust for speed, it created a new horizon for freedom, weekends and leisure. This stunning DB5 example is a rare opportunity to acquire not only a different Aston Martin, but the most iconic and desirable of them all.
