Description
This lovely Aston Martin DB4 was repatriated to the UK in 1965 having belonged to an eminent doctor who had led a pilot Malaria eradication project in Kuala Lumpur and subsequently allocated the registration it wears today.
It was completely restored in the seventies and remained in road trim before being converted into a 'Lightweight' DB4 and embarking on a illustrious racing campaign.
Famous in AMOC racing circles, it has been raced by Andy Jenkinson and the late Peter Wheeler of TVR fame who spent much of his considerable resources constantly improving the race car.
It was purchased by renowned racer Sean Brown in 2008 and raced with great success by him until around 2013.
With such a continuous proven race winning history it is officially recognised as a Aston Martin DB4 'Lightweight' and is included in the Lightweight register.
In 2018, our vendor decided to return the Aston to a usable, legal fast road specification so that it could be enjoyed for road trips and touring.
