Aston Martin DB4

1959 - 2+2 Seater - Group 7

DB4

The DB4 caused a sensation when it was first shown in 1958. John Wyer, then General Manager of Astons, was asked for a quote for the publicity blurb. He took out his slide rule and said ’Tell them it will accelerate to 100mph and brake to a standstill again in under 30 seconds.’ ’Autocar’ tested it and managed to do it in under 27 seconds. Disc brakes all round and over 200 bhp and relatively (!) light weight must have made the DB4 very impressive compared to anything else which could be bought in the late ‘50s.



This car was made in August 1959 and would have shared the factory, then in Feltham, with the Le Mans winning DBR1. When it was re-painted in 1996 the colour was chosen to exactly match that car.

This car has been upgraded from standard in several areas, but retains a mainly original specification.
