Chassis : DB4/1206/R - Engine : 370/1207/SS)
This model is very sought after in the DB Aston Martin range.
She arrived approx. 1 year ago into our classic car workshop... in boxes. Very quickly one of our loyal, very enthusiast customers fell in love with this rare DB4 SV Vantage and asked us to bring her back to her former glory.
Good point to notice was the fact that this Aston Martin still was matching numbers and, even more important, structurally very sound. According to her factory production file this DB4 came out of the Newport Pagnell factory in the color combination of Black Pearl with dark red leather interior.
We decided to restore this Aston Martin respecting this original color combination, which, now that the restoration has been finalised, turns out to be a very attractive colorcombination, certainly so with the new set of green tinted glas fitted.
The original Borrani wire wheels, restored by the Borrani factory in Milan, on which we fitted the appropriate Avon Turbosteel tyres, stand out beautifully. For practical reasons, because the whole of continental Europe is driving on the right side of the road, we also decided to convert the original RHD into LHD. The steering box and steering column are adaptable, but we had to fabricate a whole new dashboard + some adaptations to pedal box, handbrake, driver seat, etc... This means however that if later in life a future owner would like to go back to RHD, this can allways been done in a straighforward way.
When we bought this Aston Martin the state of the art 3,7l. Vantage engine was allready completely overhauled by a well reputed specialist in Belgium. We just had to execute a close check-up and some detailing before installing the engine back into the chassis. With the polished cam covers and the typically for Vantage 3 SU carburettors the engine bay looks just like a jewellers shop. Suspensions, the whole brake system, electricity, stainless steel exhaust, etc., etc... everything got item per item our attention. I could tell you more about minor details such as window mechanisms, door rubbers, quality of the chrome, patina of the original leather, neat headlining, etc., etc., but I think the best thing is for you to come and admire this Aston Martin 'in the flesh' here in our classic car garage. Will you pay us a visit soon? Our team looks forward to that!
Price: 250.000 Euro
