Equipment
Body color wire wheels, Bridgestone RE71 225 60ZR15 tires, braced rollbar, 5 speed, 48DCOE Webers, dual ignition, no bumpers. Good paint with some cracks, discolored windshield trim and fair windshield surrounds. Even gaps and good bodywork. 4.2 litre replacement engine is vintage racing orderly but far from concours or even like new. A silhouette racer for an Aston Martin enthusiast.
Market commentary
Offered last year at Bonhams Quail Lodge sale where it attracted a high, but unsuccessful, reported bid of $365,000. This is a mean, purposeful sleek racking Aston. Its presentation, lowered stance and serious tires blend with the lines of the covered headlight DB4 Series 5 body highlight its aggression. Its not for everyone, but for those who appreciate its presentation and presence it is a sound value at this price.
