Underneath this smooth exterior lurks a much modified DB5. Converted by David Royle and Co Ltd of Durhan, England, the DB5 has had it's original body removed and the chassis shortened to the same as that of a 1957 DBR2, also the engine and gearbox have been moved back. The DBR2 style body has then been added still using the superleggera system where alloy panels are attached to a tubular frame. This very exciting road car is known as a DB5 Sports and is believed to be unique.
