The Aston Martin DB4 has long been revered by the marques enthusiasts as the purists’ choice, thanks to its nimble handling and tasteful appearance. The unique Blu Scozia now offered at Hexagon was the third Right Hand Drive DB4 to come from Newport Pagnell and was prepared and upgraded by Aston Martin aficionado Richard Williams, as his own car, for 37 years.
Aston Martin registered this car as their London demonstration model before production continued for the model until 1963. The car boasts a retrimmed leather interior with the car converted to run on a Vantage triple Weber set-up. It was upgraded with a 5-speed gearbox and modifications have been made to the front and rear wheel arches to accommodate its larger offset wire wheels.
Hexagon’s Aston Martin DB4 has undergone an extensive restoration, a necessity after successfully mastering legendary hill climb events throughout its life. The recommissioning process was carried out by the best specialists and the engine was rebuilt to a 4.2-liter specification, whilst the entire interior and exterior of the car have been upgrading to a near Concours condition, at a cost of £222,000. It is now arguably one of the finest DB4’s in the world.
Paul Michaels, chairman of Hexagon Classics, said: “This is an unmissable opportunity for someone to own a truly unique classic car. The DB4 is unmistakably iconic, made more so thanks to this particular pre-production model claiming the legendary Richard Williams amongst it previous owners. It has been lovingly restored to immaculate condition and it ready for inspection from our North London showroom now.”
