Finished in original Desert White over Red Connolly leather upholstery this rare factory right hand drive DB4 was optioned from new with air conditioning, overdrive transmission, Richmond seatbelts and Motorola radio.
Exceedingly original, this DB4 was treated to a specialist mechanical overhaul in 2003 repairing the steering rack, front and rear brake calipers, refurbishing the original water-pump, air conditioning compressor, clutch hydraulics, belts and pulleys at a cost of some $9,137.52 yet uniquely still carries many important factory features including the correct and irreplaceable front and rear chrome bumpers, chrome wire wheels, and complete, excellently well maintained interior trim.
Accompanying the car is an extensive history file holding the leather-bound instruction manual, original spare keys, original Richmond seat belt fitting instructions, a chronological ownership history that comically specifies "Previous owner would take taxi rather than drive in rain", invoicing for the former major works, hide hammer, original jack and tool kit.
A true connoisseur's car, this very original DB4 Series IV offers an undisputedly rare opportunity to own a slice of Aston Martin history from the beginning of what many consider to be the "Golden Years" of Aston Martin.
Carrying all the hallmarks of what we consider a Bluechip classic, delivered new in Australia, original right hand drive, original colour combination, exceptional provenance and turnkey condition this DB4 really is something quite special.
The success of the DB4 secured the future of Aston Martin for the next 25 years and paved the way for its successor that would become the most famous car in the world.
But unlike its younger sibling, there is still a certain air of mystique surrounding the DB4, arguably a more exquisitely designed car boasting non-recessed head lights, fastback rear end and shorter wheel base; something never to be repeated the DB4 Series IV is certainly one for the savvy collector.
