About this car

This 1962 Aston Martin DB4 Series 4, chassis DB4/797/R, has been restored and then modified for faster, more usable driving. The engine is a bespoke 4.2-litre unit built by David Jackes of Aston Engineering, running on triple Weber carburettors, with a Link ignition system fitted and programmed in 2025.

The changes go beyond the engine. The brakes are uprated to racing specification, and there is a limited-slip differential, an uprated suspension and handling package, adjustable power steering and air conditioning. It sits on new offset wire wheels, and the interior was retrimmed by a former Aston Martin factory trimmer.

The dealer says the car has covered about 2,000 miles since restoration. It was kept in a private collection and was originally supplied by JD Classics, with a brief to provide the best available. It is registered in the UK as YVH938. The page shows the price marked "Accepted", which suggests the car is now under offer.
