If you missed out on the opportunity of spending [$1.8 million](<https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/24124/lot/132/>) on [Sir Paul McCartney’s Aston Martin DB5](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/16162/sir-paul-mccartneys-aston-martin-db5-is-going-to-auction>) on Dec. 2, you have another rare chance of owning a legendary [rock star’s](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/1629/rock-stars-drive-cool-cars>) DB5, which is up for sale on [Classic Driver](<https://www.classicdriver.com/en/car/aston-martin/db5/1965/501031>). This time, its former owner is Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant who bought the car in the early 1970s and later sold it in 1986 to a car collecting father/son team in England.

Robert Plant’s old red [DB5](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/5621/this-1-million-aston-martin-db5-was-bought-using-apple-pay>) is a 1965 model with 62,400 miles on the clock. It’s equipped with an all-aluminum 4.0-liter DOHC inline-six engine that’s rated at 285 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a synchromesh ZF five-speed manual transmission. The tan leather interior is as luxurious as you’d expect from a classic Aston Martin. Being a British market car, it’s right-hand drive.

This DB5 underwent a restoration at some point since Plant’s ownership and it’s held up tremendously well. The car has been owned by Nicholas Mee & Co. since 2008 and they’ve taken very good care of it, using sparingly and keeping in a controlled environment.

Mechanically excellent, with only the lightest signs of use, this iconic car can most accurately be described as having received, a Whole Lotta Love,” reads the Classic Driver listing. Price is only available upon request and we have a feeling its value is close to the $1.8 million that McCartney’s Aston went for. Feel free to reach out to them if you’re ready to give this Aston all of your love.
