    All the photos are terrific, but the interior is one of the all time greats.

    Congrats on bringing a "forever" car back to new.

    Nothing compares!
    Interior looks soo tasty.
    I'm usually not a jealous type but this one is eating me alive, would give my left nut for it in addition to my 575SA.
    Maybe even both nuts......

    For sure, great team there ;)
    We own a Vanquish S, the last of Newport Pagnell.
    Built in the same factory, 40 years after your stunning DB5.

    Here is a picture with one of our friends' 1962 DB4 (Series IV) and our 2007 Vanquish S
    The 1st and the last of Newport Pagnell :)

    Flying the car back, as opposed to container ship transport, was such the right move........

    Spending those kind of dollars to restore the car, then plopping on a ship? No way.

    She's a beauty.

    I sold my Series III Etype 2 years ago to a collector in London who was insistent on flying the Jag back to the U.K.

    It's expensive, but I don't think I'll ever put a car on a ship.

    Weak-in-the-knees beautiful. Many of your shots are also screen-saver worthy. Seriously nice job with the camera. I could smell the leather in that interior shot.

    Love that car. I had an "English craving" about 2 years ago, which resulted in an E type getting the same treatment. Selling a kidney barely gets you started, so I feel your pain, though likely not to the same degree.

    You've saved a masterpiece my friend. Enjoy that thought and the car!

    Love the car. Absolutely aced the resto; good work to you and the restoration crew.

    As a side note:
    Does it make you want to wear a tux and order vodka martini's? :)

    Amazing! congratulations after all the waiting and presumed heartache in making the hard decisions.

    Do you have any pre-resto pics you care to share? I'm just curious to see how far this car has come during a three year restoration. I wonder if the previous owner/s are interested in seeing her now.
