Description
• Known ownership history • Restored during previous ownership • Further restoration and numerous upgrades by R S Williams • Present ownership since 2004 'The Aston Martin DB4 was perhaps the finest compromise which the David Brown-owned company ever achieved between exceptionally high-quality, exceptionally high-performance, exceptionally lavish finishing and yet properly contained overall size and weight – a great British product, benefiting from the styling input of Touring of Milan...' – Motors, 1965.
Built in 1962 and first registered on 1st January 1963, this car is the only DB4 to have been fitted with an automatic gearbox from new.
The accompanying copy guarantee form lists the Special Series engine and Borg Warner transmission under 'Particulars of Non-Standard Equipment', although the original three-speed Borg Warner transmission has since been replaced with a modern four-speed unit (the original 'box is included in the sale).
