1960 Aston Martin DB4, Series 2

We have the pleasure to bring to the market a truly exquisite example of the mind bendingly beautiful Aston Martin DB4 series 2, with this particular example having gone through a total restoration completed to the most demanding of standards.

Unveiled in 1958 at the London Motor Show, the Carrozzeria Tourin designed tube framed Superleggera (lightweight) body was met with amazement and much applause by the motoring press and fans alike, and although being designed by an Italian company was the first Aston Martin to be built at the company’s Newport Pagnell works factory.

Tadek Marek designed the sublime and iconic sounding 3. 7 litre straight 6 aluminium engine developing a very appealing 240bhp and ensuring mind bending performance for the time, with independent tests clocking the vehicle at a top speed of very close to 140 mph, dispatching a 0-60 dash in 9. 3 seconds. A legend was born.
