If you’re out in the market looking for one of the
rarest Aston Martins, look no further: this pre-production 1959 DB4 is now
available to anyone with deep enough pockets. This unique Blu Scozia example is
the third right-hand DB4 made at Newport Pagnell and it was owned by the known
Aston Martin aficionado Richard Williams for 37 years.
It was originally Aston Martin’s London demonstrator
and comes with a range of upgrades, including a triple Weber setup, a
five-speed gearbox and modded front and rear wheel arches in order to fit its
larger offset wire wheels.
This gorgeous Aston Martin DB4 has also been
subjected to an extensive restoration, which was needed as the car was a
frequent hillclimb racer. The engine has been rebuilt to a 4.2-liter
specification while both the exterior and the interior were upgraded to a near
concours condition, with the cost of the restoration reaching £ 222,000 (near US$
300k in current exchange rates).
The car is on sale by Hexagon Classics in London and
is described to be in an immaculate condition.
