Fifteen years ago, I got a call from a Stranger who was referred to me by someone in the Aston Martin Owner's Club. He had found a "chopped" DB5 in that it had been converted into a station wagon for sale at a consignment lot in Pasadena, CA. It turns out it was one of a handful of factory "Shooting Brakes", custom made by David Brown (then owner of Aston Martin) for his buddies who wanted one for when they went bird hunting. Not my cup of tea, but worth a lot. I was honest, and told him what it was. I think he paid 5 grand. Probably worth an awful lot now.
