Highlights
- The legendary Italian-designed front end taken from the Aston Martin DB5
- Stripped back to bare metal - an absolute blank slate
- Perfect for art installations, furniture upcycling and more
The Appeal
The DB5 is one of the world’s most iconic motors, thanks to its James Bond pedigree and Italian design.
A fair bit of that iconic nature comes from the Superleggera-designed nose cone, with its smooth lines and distinctive grill. This nose cone is presented in its purest form, unpainted, stripped back and with no fittings - ready for you to make your mark.
Whether it’s to be 'upcycled' into a piece of suitably petrolhead-centric furniture, or even to restore an existing DB5, this distinctive aluminium nose cone is perhaps one of the most iconic pieces of automobilia you could own.
The Condition
- Stripped back and ready for a new lease of life
- No paint or fittings
- Ragged edges and some imperfections to the metal
Presented in its rawest form, there’s no mistaking the elegance of the DB5’s shape. However, it is presented as a blank canvas. This nose cone has no paint, no fittings and is very obviously presented as what it is - a stripped-back DB5 front end, cut from the iconic car.
As a result, there is a distinctive jagged edge and pitted texture to the aluminium, however, it’s still in perfect shape to respond to a new lease of life. Repaint, upcycle, restore - the choice is yours, and in each case, you’ve got the ideal blank canvas.
Summary
Automobilia collectors are naturally going to feel the draw of this item. With its impeccably designed shape, smooth outlines and distinctive profile, this nose cone is a work of art worthy of display already. The opportunity to develop that and make it your own is unmissable.
