It’s not every day you see a car like this up for sale. We apologize for linking to an ad with less than stellar photos, but this is something we felt we needed to let our readers be aware of.
The DB series of Astons got their names from Sir David Brown who bought the company in 1947 for only £20,500! Of course this was long before Aston Martin became a world famous brand when the latter DB5 was featured as James Bond’s personal ride in the movie Goldfinger. Even before becoming a world famous brand, for the lucky few with great wealth and a penchant for style, an Aston Martin would very often be at the top of of the list for a sporting car.
The DB4 is built on a tube frame chassis and has a body designed by the Italian firm Carrozzeria Touring. It was also the first Aston Martin to be manufactured in Aston’s Newport Pagnell plant. Power comes from a smooth 3.7 liter straight six and confident braking via disc brakes. Note that disc brakes didn’t become popular on mass produced cars until the mid 1950s.
This example is a right hand drive car and has had the same owner for the last 30 years with some 94,000 miles on the odometer. Definitely not a trailer queen, this Aston needs a little TLC, but you can feel confident driving this car on the road. It includes extensive paperwork of all its upkeep, which includes an engine rebuild and repaint. Good luck and hurry! The auction ends very soon!
