In the world of vintage sports cars you will find a lot of iconic examples. Some cars go beyond iconic, which is the case with the 1961 Aston Martin DB4 Series IV Coupe. This classic sports car is timeless.
From its sexy bodywork all the way to its driving performance, this is a driver’s car built for connoisseurs. The DB4 oozes class and racing heritage at every turn. Although it is becoming increasingly difficult to acquire an Aston Martin DB4, this particular Series IV Coupe is available for sale through the reputable RM Sotheby’s.
This is an original left-hand-drive DB4 which are difficult examples to find. In fact, its first owner was World Golf Hall of Famer Ken Venturi. It is finished in an elegant navy blue finish with a tan interior.
On top of that, you will find a numbers-matching straight six-cylinder engine under the bonnet. This engine sounds delicious and you get complete control using the David Brown four-speed manual gearbox. Four wheel disc brakes provide all the stopping power you need.
Believe it or not, the DB4 was the world’s first production car capable of going from 0 to 100 miles per hour and then come to a complete stop in under 30 seconds. The 3.7L engine produces 240 brake-horsepower with 245 pound-feet of torque. For its era, this is a very fun car to drive.
This particular DB4 is in excellent condition. With its recent service and detailing, including stripping the body down to the metal for fresh paint, this DB4 is borderline pristine. If you have been waiting for the right left-hand-drive DB4 to fall into your lap, today is your lucky day.
Make no mistake about it though, if you are planning to make the purchase, this is a seven-figure car. It’s not every day you get the chance to add a 1961 Aston Martin DB4 Series IV Coupe to your collection. When the opportunity knocks, you should probably open the door and your wallet.
