Specification

Further Information

We are privileged to be able to offer for sale a very special 3.7 Litre Aston Martin DB4 Series II with RHD & manual transmission. Looking absolutely superb in its original (factory) colour of Snow Shadow Grey metallic, with Blue Hide it's an incredibly evocative Aston, one that typifies the glamourous era to which it belongs. With only three owners from new this particular car has been beautifully maintained regardless of cost and comes complete with a very extensive and detailed history file including MOTs, tax discs and photographs etc. as well as bills and invoices from Aston specialists such as R. S. Williams. Featured in “The Original Aston Martin DB4/5/6”, a book by Robert Edwards, this particular example is described as “One of the nicest original DB4s in existence” 
The car was supplied in July 1960 by the Aston Martin factory to Mr Bateman of South Nutfield. It really isn't difficult to imagine how special that day must have been, the cars appearance having changed so little in the years since.

Brief Model history 
Announced at the Paris Motor Show in October, 1958, the DB4 ushered in a radical departure for Aston Martin in its determination to be a force in the production of true world beating manufacturers of GT cars of the very highest performance. 
The DB4 required a totally new platform chassis that was designed by Harold Beach, the chief chassis engineer, and was given radical new body styling by Touring of Milan. A new form of body construction used the Superleggara principle of a light tubular structure that was then clothed in an aluminium body shell. Patented by Touring, it was a form of construction that was followed in principle all the way to the Virage of the early 1990s. A totally new all aluminium, twin overhead cam straight 6 cylinder engine, running in an extremely generous 7 bearing crankcase, endowed the DB4 with a step change in performance and a useful saving of weight from the previous cast iron engines used in the DB2. There was no other car in production that could better its time of 0 to 100 mph of 20 secs and few the equal of its top speed of 140 mph, when the DB4 was announced in 1958. 
The DB4 included many lessons that Aston Martin had learnt from its racing heritage, influencing suspension and engine design, braking and aerodynamics. The one major disappointment was the use of a conventional rear axle, all be it very well located, in preference to the use of a De Dion independent rear suspension because of cost, technical and production risk. 
The DB4 is still one of the most beautiful and iconic cars of all time. Instantly recognised as an Aston Martin, the classical and perfect proportions of the early series DB4s has never been bettered. It is a style that looks right from every angle and it is not without reason that it has set the tone for every subsequent Aston Martin to this day.
