Model: DB4
This early DB4 Series 1 – one of 150 made - was first registered new, in the UK, as XLE 46 in September 1959. Purchased from Brooklands Garage in London, the first owner was Richard Gordon – the author of the humorous “Doctor at Large” series of books. There is an extensive record of the vehicles’ subsequent ownership up to the current day, together with a copy of the original build sheet and many invoices supporting the servicing and restoration work history.
The current Jersey-based owner acquired the DB4 in 2022 and has continued the ‘tradition’ of quality upkeep and maintenance work on the car, most recently evidenced by work carried out by ourselves over the last 2 years.
The car runs and drives very well. A lead-free cylinder head conversion was carried out some years ago; more recently there has been a specialist gearbox rebuild and within the last few months, the braking system has been overhauled.
The body of the DB4 has been kept in sound condition, with the Indigo blue paintwork in a very presentable condition. The interior of the car is in an excellent patinated condition.
A rare and collectable early Aston Martin DB4, this is a genuine well-loved car which has been maintained and repaired as required by several enthusiastic owners during its life, rather the subject of a complete restoration.
