Chassis Number: DB4/682/R
The famous Aston Martin marque has produced some of the most powerful and handsome post-war high-performance cars in the world. Arguably Britain’s first real Gran Turismo worthy of appellation, the DB4 made its debut at the 1958 London Motor Show to great public acclaim. Successor to the DB Mk III, it was the first production Aston Martin to use both Tadek Marek’s new twin overhead camshaft straight-six all-alloy engine and an aluminium body designed by Touring of Milan using its Superleggera method of attachment to a lightweight steel tube frame.
Beneath the DB4’s sleek and beautifully proportioned lines, the 3,670cc unit developed 240bhp, while the new platform chassis featured independent coil-sprung wishbone front suspension, a coil sprung live rear axle located by Watt linkage and parallel trailing arms and all-round disc brakes.
