"A dilapidated Aston Martin DB5, bought for just 900 in the 1970s and left to rot, has been meticulously restored and is now valued at an astonishing 1 million, a remarkable transformation for Welshman John Williams's iconic James Bond-style sports car. Mr Williams, a welder and garage owner, was just 19 when he saved diligently to acquire the classic vehicle for 900 in 1973."
"Time and neglect took their toll. The once-magnificent machine became so rundown that local children played on it, with one even snapping the exhaust pipe. Mr Williams admitted he was "a bit ashamed that I'd let her get into that state" and vowed to bring it back to life, stating it "became a goal of mine to get her restored.""
