Buyer’s notes
About the Aston Martin DB4
The DB4 of 1958 had a body designed by Carrozzeria Touring of Milan, built under licence at Newport Pagnell to Touring’s Superleggera method of light panels over a framework of small tubes. Its 3,670 cc twin-cam six was designed by Tadek Marek. Production ran to 1963, 1,204 cars in all including the DB4 GT and the GT Zagato.
What moves the price
- Version: the DB4 GT and GT Zagato were built in small numbers and are a separate market from the standard car.
- Structure: the condition of the Superleggera framework and the chassis beneath it, which is costly to put right.
- History: matching engine and chassis numbers, and records of who has looked after the car.
Before you buy, check
- The Superleggera tubing at both ends, the frame behind the bonnet, the sills around the jacking points and the door bottoms.
- Warm oil pressure, blue smoke under acceleration and any sign of oil and water mixing; ask when the timing chain was last replaced.
- Engine and chassis numbers against the records, with an inspection by an Aston Martin specialist.
