A rare 1960s Aston Martin DB5, once left to rust on a driveway in Flintshire, has been painstakingly restored and is now valued at one million pounds. John Williams, who bought the car second-hand in the 1970s, had left it unused for decades, during which time it became a plaything for local children and home to a mouse nest. After saving for years, Williams invested in a three-year restoration at Aston Martin's specialist workshop, where experts spent 2,500 hours bringing the car back to its former glory. Now one of only 39 such models in the world, the car is a testament to the couple's dedication and love for the iconic vehicle made famous by James Bond films.
