Temporary exportation to the UK by Mr Auston in June 2006 saw various maintenance work carried out by Aston Martin specialists RS Williams. Most notably, a full overhaul of the engine, fitting manifolds, stripping the carburettors and cleaning cam covers.

In February of 2025, the DB5 underwent an extensive restoration by renowned Aston Martin specialists Richards of England, returning the car to its original livery of 'Goodwood Green' with Connolly Vaumol leather in Fawn, documented and presented through our signature matching restoration books. Following on from the extensive restoration, the DB5 had its first debut at the 2026 Yorkshire Elegance held at Grantley Hall, Ripon, where it won First in Class.

My first trip to Monterey car week, I now understand what all the fuss is about. Let’s just say, I am ready to book for next year.

We had a successful week, securing new cars in the auctions, meeting new US clients for the first time, and generally soaking up the atmosphere and what the week’s events had to offer. The standard of cars on the lawn, inspires us to have a successful entry in the coming years. Which I suspect, is very soon!
The energy and enthusiasm within the US market is evident, and something tells me, the industry is only becoming stronger with a younger generation playing a part, which is only a good thing.

The ROE vs SASSO golf day was a success to close the week out! We only lost two balls between us. I’m still waiting for the ‘scores on the doors’ to be revealed! Sasso Automotive

Only 354 days to go.
