Aston Martin DB4 SII Coupé

Aston Martin DB4 SII Coupé 1961 RHD Matching numbers! Chassis n°: DB4/474/R Engine n°: 370 498. (Upgraded to Vantage specification). I vividly remember being able to secure some years ago this beautiful classic sportscar out of the eclectic collection of one of my Italian customers. The test-drive along the idyllic North-Italian countryroads, the fabulous road-behaviour (rear axle upgraded to DB4 GT specifications) of this DB4 Aston Martin, the endless power (thanks to Vantage spec. upgrade) of the 3,7 liter engine and glorious exhaust sound convinced me easily to do the deal. Reading the main feature article in Ruote Classiche magazine from january 1999, I notice that Italian motorjournalists thought exactly the same when testdriving this very same DB4 (magazine comes with the car). Once this DB4 was home and quickly sold to one of my long term Belgian classic car customers, the Aston Martin continued to impress, first of all the new owner, but also our workshop staff. Our specialist classic car workshop, which has acquired over the years lots of experience restoring and servicing all types of Aston Martin sportscars, saw this beauty regularly back which enabled us to maintain (and improve) this DB4 SII in tip-top condition. One of the improvements consisted in fitting a longer ratio crownwheel & pinion for more relaxed cruising on motorways. To make sure the owner could use this sportscar without any restrictions as a daily classic, part of our job consisted also in making sure this Aston Martin passed the Belgian Controle Technique every year as a normal car (not as an oldtimer), which is at the same time a proof that this DB4 is in excellent structural and mechanical condition, just as a normal modern - but boring - car! Looking very attractive in the colour combination of bordeaux red with black leather, looking very attractive thanks to a slight touch of charming patina, fitted with chrome wire wheels, make from this elegant Touring designed Superleggera sportscar a real head-turner. Well OK, the looks are sensational, but the real fun... is driving her! Come and see for yourself...
