“I cannot think of any particular disadvantages compared to the normal saloon, but the advantage is that it is much more chic. For me, the ‘Shooting Brake’ is such a unique car because… it evokes freedom: weekends, open air.”
—Lindsay Owen-Jones speaking to Aston Martin Owners Club writer Michael Schäfer, March 2000

“More space than ever. For the first time, a Shooting Brake version of one of the world’s most luxurious grand touring cars.”
—The strapline of the brochure produced by Harold Radford Coachbuilders Ltd to promote the production version of the David Brown DB5 Shooting Brake
