Aston Martin DB4 Vantage SS 1962

History

The Aston Martin DB4 needs no introductions as it is considered one of the most iconic models of all time. Make no mistake though, the DB4 Vantage Special Series is rather different than the others.
Only just 40 cars were made within the 4 year period of production and this makes it rather rare but there is more to it. The DB4 series 5 is the car that prologues the DB5 which is probably the most iconic Aston Martin ever made as it is the original James Bond car but it was actually a Series 5 DB4 the car that was used in the James Bond first movie.
On top of that The changes to the DB4 Special Series Vantage model were at the top end. The cylinder head face was machined to raise the compression ratio to 9:1 and the larger diameter valves of the DB4 GT engine were fitted. The inlets had a 2-inch diameter and the exhaust valves a 1.875-inch diameter. There were three SU carburettors instead of the standard car’s two, and they were fitted with the oil cooler that was optional on the standard car. Transmission was a 4-speed transmission with overdrive on 4th gear. The power output increased to a healthy 264 bhp.
