Hey guys , im starting to freak out as the aston martin db5 has really gotten into my head.
But at the moment i cant splash out aud 600 grand on a car ( maybe in a few years i will )
Was wondering if you know any replica's that are for sale? I know there was a dbs and zagayo replica that was made .....but no db5?
If there arent any then i plan to make a life size replica and would love any details or measurements on the car ifyou have any
Cheers
Sme have suggested that i start with a datsun or holden then tottally start from scratch only taking the structure of the vehicle
Would appreciate your input and support guys
Cheers

There are no companies making replicas of these there was one guy in one of our car mechanic magazines who made one for racing from a mould of a real one he owned but no other replicas avalible

I saw there was a DB3S replica, and ASM do a DBR2 replica.
I've seen a DB9 volante replica, it went for £35k on ebay.
I've never seen a replica DB5 though.
Oh and there's a god awful vanquish copy, it's a body kit for a jaguar xk8, called an 'Ash-Mart' or something, total pile of crap.
The worst I've seen is a body kit for a Mazda MX5, to turn it into a vanquish

Would u have the contact details or be able to show him this post? (The guy in your car mechanic magazine) i may be able to get sizingband numbers from him
Unfortunately I never bought the magazine and have since done searches on the Internet without any luck, I'll have another go tho
Ross
Tried to contact him thru the magazine with no succes,
It was in 2007 november issue of classic monthly.
Yip that's the one
Inspire you to make your own aston.I'm in the planing
Stage for one, so if someone have any ideas,please
Share it with us.
Have you started yet ? and are you in Asia or Europe?
from a boat builder company.then make a mould of it.I´m not sure it will be possible but I´ll give it a try.unless the guy in the article reading this, and make me a fibreglass body
I´m in sweden,gothenburg.
No no no Donk, don't even think about it, where would you put it 8-)
A formed aluminium body will probably cost in the region of £25k
I have never understood why a kit car maker has never designed a kit as its a relatively low volume production but each one would get a high price
Nick
and parts that are similar to aston from other cars?
I where in contact with a company called "puddleduck"but they`ve
closed down.
My first thougt when i started looking into this project was
"worlds most famous car "of course there is a kit,but .....no.
I actually went to see the bond in motion just for the db5
took a ton of pictures
then the prices of Aston suddenly shot up, a DB5 then was about £125,000 now it is over £300,000 and many people charge a lot more for the parts.
I did try and sell my parts last year as they were getting in the way but now have new storage so they are still here!
I will post you a pic
Nick
Excuse the gaffer tape but there is no structure so all the pieces are loose and just placed together. Actually most of its a bit special in a Bond way but that is irrelevant to this thread
you can even use that for a cafe and place it as a ornament
looks good
Here is the car your front use to sit on.
... then you have not seen the Raven Riley thread
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
Missed that one - link please Marcus
Sorry...that thread had long since gone...it now only exists in the memory of Markus...and its best left there
Ignorance is bliss
That guy did a great job on the fibreglass car, just read the article - fascinating, all the things I had wanted to do but never got around to!
Apparently the car is not much further on and according to another website is on the back burner, wonder if he fancies selling or making another ................................
So, another evidence for dictator censorship here, Granny Miles :v
I vividly remember your involvement (arousement 8-) ) and I have searched up and down without success.
But I am sure that many have good memories on that - except Asp 9 micrometer perhaps
Good times 8-)

Censorship ? Not true...in time I think all threads disappear...
Especially yours :v

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !
The rest of the build, i'll buy one for sure,
I have to give it another try make contact with him.
There was someone in " kitcarmag" forum building a
Db5.I sent him a pm but no answer.
(Is My english that bad)
Made by auotart.got to have something to take
Measurement from
And it's scale .(checked at carfoolio.com).
And the grille would be like 103-104 cm wide.
Voiture. Could you confirm this ( or any one else)?
Since you are half db5 owner.
Martin.
