This outstanding Aston Martin DB4 Series II, built in December 1960, has been carefully developed in the spirit of the legendary DB4 GT. It combines period correctness with well chosen performance upgrades, making it equally suited for spirited road driving and historic rally events.
The documented history begins in 2011. In 2012, the car underwent an extensive upgrade programme by the respected specialist Marksdane, including GT style body modifications, mechanical enhancements and the installation of a non standard gearbox. The result is a purpose built fast road DB4 with a strong GT character.
The car retains its original DB4 engine block, number 370/548, which was fully rebuilt by RS Williams in 2012 to 4.7 litre Vantage specification at a cost of £30,550.
Triple SU HS8 carburettors improve breathing and throttle response, while a 123 electronic ignition ensures reliable operation.
The engine shows excellent compression values and was comprehensively revised again in 2023 at a cost of approximately €12,000.
A Getrag 5 speed gearbox has been fitted, paired with a revised rear axle ratio of 3.54:1 for improved acceleration and flexibility. A very minor oil seepage at the pinion seal has been noted.
The DB4 is equipped with a Harvey Bailey suspension kit, new anti roll bar bushes and a powerful braking system with servo assistance. The front brake discs show light corrosion, consistent with normal use.
The car sits on wide 15 inch Borrani wire wheels with three ear knock offs, completing the GT appearance.
Tyres are Avon 205/70 R15.
The car features a full DB4 GT inspired appearance, including:
The paintwork is generally in good condition with minor age related imperfections. The underside retains a period correct bitumen style underseal.
