This gorgeous Aston Martin DB4 is an attractive model of the series 2 with “matching numbers” and an exciting and well-documented history. First delivery was to Syd Greene, race car driver, Formula 1 team owner, entrepreneur and Royal Air Force pilot. In 2007 and 2008, the car was completely restored.
The Aston Martin DB 4 was built from 1958 to 1963 and until today is considered to be one of the most beautiful and most important cars in history. The development of the DB4 took Aston Martin a while. The company’s boss John Wyer asked the Carozzeria Touring from Milano to take care of the design. There, a stunning body was designed, according to the own patented “Superleggera”-principle. This construction consists of handmade aluminium sheets on a spaceframe which is fixed to the chassis. The DB4 was available as Coupé and as Cabriolet, plus in special versions such as the DB4 GT, the DB4 GT Zagato and the “Jet” as a single piece made by Bertone.
