In 1958 the all new Aston Martin Db4 was debuted at the London Motor show. The engine was a Tarek Marek design, a 3670CC unit with DOHC , producing 240bhp. Aston Martin employed the famous Italian coach builder Carrozzeria Touring for its Supperleggera lightweight Aluminium body construction.
This particular Aston Martin DB4 Series 1 is one of approximately 73 original left hand drive variants built, supplied new in Snow Shadow Grey with a red connolly leather, optional extras included a set of fully chrome road wheels and a continental spares kit. The car retains it original engine and chassis with the gearbox being replaced in 1959 under warranty by Aston Martin as per the works build sheet. Delivered new to the bay area of California, the first owner kept the car for the first 10 years of its life.
The car would stay in California and pass through a couple more owners until 1994 when it was bought by a French custodian end exported back from the USA to Europe. The car has always been maintained well but never restored and represents a very rare original example of the most desirable 1st series Aston Martin DB4 in left hand drive configuration.
