Mice family homeless when DB5 coughs after 32 years.

Barnfinds have become a regular things since the market has decided to favour those above well restored examples. No auction  catalogue of standing can do without a decent hi-end find. No different for Bonhams sale at the AM works next May 18. So here it is a 1964 Aston martin DB5 parked in 1980 by its owner David Ettridge and untouched since. The only difference being that this car awoke from its three decade beauty sleep so well, that the experts 'after carefull preparation' thought it was a nice idea to fire up the engine in presence of the late owners daughters. The only ones not very happy were the mice who had chosen the engine bay as their hi-tech dormitory and could not return. Not sure if the Ettridge daugthers were warned timely about this aspect of reviving the Aston Martin.
