1961 ASTON MARTIN DB4 SPORTS COUPE Registration No. 4 TPJ Chassis No. DB4/573/R Engine No. 370/582 Dark green with ivory leather interior Engine: six cylinder in-line, double overhead camshaft, 3.670cc, 240bhp at 5,500rpm; Gearbox: four speed manual; Brakes: four wheel disc; Suspension: independent all round. Right hand drive. The acquisition of Aston Martin along with Lagonda in the late 1940s by David Brown brought new security to the two companies. It also gave Aston Martin access to W.O.Bentley's splendid twin cam engine, a layout favoured on all subsequent six cylinder cars. The DB4 model was first seen at the 1958 London Motor Show. The superb new body was designed by Touring of Milan and was made under licence at the Tickford plant at Newport Pagnell. It was built to Touring patented "super light" principles. This Superleggera construction employed aluminium panels over a lattice of small tubes laid out to define the body shape, an ideal process for a small volume producer like Aston Martin. This superbly presented right hand drive DB4 has had only three owners since new and has been in the same current ownership for the past 19 years. It is described by the owner as being in extremely good condition. The seats were retrimmed by Connolly in 1990 and the car was resprayed in 1994. There is a very comprehensive service history which dates back to the initial servicing by the Aston Martin factory and indicates the vehicle has always been well maintained and kept in good running condition. There is a current MoT certificate (and several older ones), both the old style log book and current V5 and the original instruction book.
