DB III prices really depend on the state of the car. Expect to start at around £20,000 for a shell in need of a full restoration up to £100,000 for a concourse quality model. If it's got any pedigree i.e ex race or works car then expect to pay a premium on the basic price.
Restoration costs largely depend on the initial state of the car and the level you want to go to with it.
A full restoration from a wreck to a driveable car takes around 2,500 man hours. Labour costs vary but expect to pay £50-£60 an hour minimum. Then add parts on top of that. You wont get much change from £25,000.
If you want to restore to concours quality the sky is the limit.
The best people to ask are Aston themselves. They have a dedicated restoration service and can tell you a lot more about costs and car prices.

I got one, with a spare engine, for £500, was a good few (20+) years ago though.
Thought they only came as fully open, or a coupé. Didn't know there was a convertible. Possibly you mean a 'Mark III'
