The transition from the DB4 to the DB5 took place smoothly in July 1963. From an aesthetic point of view, the bodywork of the new DB5 was very reminiscent of the lines of the DB4. On the other hand, the engine was quite different: the displacement was increased from 3670 to 3995cc and the power increased from 240 to 282 hp. During the two years of production there were some developments to the transmission and the Vantage version appeared with a 314 hp at 5750 rpm.

Corgi is one of the historic car modeling brands. The Corgis, launched in 1956, were the first ever to feature windows, reproduced in transparent plastic. Corgi were a Mettoy brand, a company founded in 1933 by the German immigrant Philipp Ullmann, based in Northampton and then in Swansea (Wales). The Corgis were made of zamac, approximately 1:43 scale, and were soon equipped with many working parts such as opening doors and bonnets or suspensions. The vehicle models known in films and television series were particularly successful. In 1964 a further range of smaller models in approximately 1:66 scale was introduced. It was first called "Husky" and then renamed "Corgi Juniors" in 1970. In the 1970s many models in the main range were made in 1:36, but in the following decade Corgi again used 1:43 scale for cars and 1:50 for commercial vehicles, moving production to China. In 1999, Corgi took over the Lledo brand, also continuing production of the 1:43 Vanguards range.
