1962 Aston Martin DB4 Navigation
The Aston Martin DB4GT was developed specifically to beat the dominant Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta in FIA's Grand Touring Car World Championship of 1960. The DB4GT debuted at the 1959 London Motor Show, and it won its first race at Silverstone, driven by Stirling Moss. Aston Martin built 75 DB4GTs with lightweight factory bodies, and a further 19 chassis were bodied in aluminum by Zagato
This car, the 14th to be built, was completed in December of 1961, and the only one delivered to Australia, where it had a short but successful racing career in 1962. Its first owner, Laurie O'Neill, shared the driving there with Doug Whiteford and Ian Georghegan, and the trio scored many class and overall wins down under. It would enjoy six overall wins in its first and only race season. After O'Neill sold the car, it remained in Australia for the next 30 years but was rarely seen. It was sold in 2000 to Peter Read of the United States, and a thorough restoration was undertaken by marque specialist Richard Williams in the United Kingdom and at Zagato's own workshops in Milan. Its current owner acquired the car in 2015.
