Should a build slot be available, clients are asked to place a £5,000 security deposit DB5 Junior / DB5 Vantage Junior or a £18,000 security deposit for DB5 Junior No Time To Die Edition. This deposit is entirely refundable up until the Configuration Invoice is settled.

My name is on the waiting list. How likely am I to get a car?

For those who did not make it onto the initial build list, a waiting list will be in operation based on a first-come, first-served basis. Should a client on the build list choose not to proceed with their reservation, or they do not place their deposit in a reasonable amount of time, the next person on the waiting list will be offered the opportunity to purchase a limited-edition DB5 Junior.

Are build slots transferable to another individual?

All build slots are non-transferable but a full refund can be requested at any time up until your final order is placed.
