About this car

A 1960 DB4 Series II, delivered new in late 1960 through the Brooklands dealership in Bond Street, London. Its original options included Avon Turbo Speed tyres, twin SU HD8 carburettors, Dunlop brakes, Armstrong dampers and a Smiths mph speedometer.

The car has been repainted in Chiltern Green; it was originally Wedgwood Blue. It has a matching-numbers engine, now with modified Weber carburettors, and a five-speed Getrag gearbox. The original four-speed box is included. It spent time in Australia until 2014, where it was used on track, and it still has a number of suspension upgrades from that period. A Bluetooth stereo has been added.

The listing shows 23,000 miles and a history file. The interior is black leather, and the dealer says it has inspected the car in full.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Aston Martin's claimed 240 bhp (gross), 3,670cc twin-SU straight-six. Weight, top speed and 0-60 left null because I can't confirm factory figures; most period numbers are from magazine tests.).

Power: 240 bhp
Engine: 3,670 cc, 6 cylinders
Engine position: Front-engined
