 The DB5 Sir David Brown
was driving in 1963 had one disadvantage – it did not offer enough space
for his hunting gear, his polo mallets and his dogs. So he had Tickford of
Newport Parnell, the coach building company he had bought in 1955, build the first
Aston Martin Shooting Brake. This car was soon followed by another 11 units (Converted
by Harold Radford Ltd. in West London because Tickford was running
to capacity). The
car was displayed at the 1965 Paris Motor Show.
Der
DB5 von Aston-Martin Eigner David Brown hatte einen grossen Nachteil: Zuwenig
Platz für seine Jagdutensilien, Poloschläger und Hunde. Als Besitzer der
Tickford Karosseriewerk liess sich David Brown 1963 einen DB5 zum Kombi
umbauen. Später kamen 11 weitere Exemplare dazu, die von Harold Radford in West
London gebaut wurden, weil Tickford zu stark ausgelastet war. Ausgestellt wurde das Auto erstmals an der Paris Motor
Show von 1965.
Il cofano della
DB5 di Sir David Brown non bastava per accogliere i suoi fucili, cani e stecche
di polo. Nel 1963 David Brown si fece modificare la DB5 nella sua carrozzeria
di Tickford, e nacque così la prima Aston Martin Shooting Brake. Più tardi, vi si
aggiunsero 11 esemplari costruiti da Harold Radford a Londra.
