1961 Aston Martin DB4 Fastback Coupe

This Aston Martin DB4 Series II Sports Saloon Coachwork by Touring is an early example with several styling cues of the series of this model, including the large hood scoop and 'cathedral' rear lights. Just 351 examples were built with most remaining on the home market in right hand drive configuration.

This example has recently been retrieved from long-term storage, having spent more than fifteen years in a slumber. At some point in its history it was given a repaint in the gold color it wears today.

This car left the factory finished in Pale Primrose with a black leather interior. It was fitted with optional chrome wire wheels, rear view mirrors and 3.77 rear axle ratio. It was sent through U.S. agents Inskip to Sidney Langsam in Denver, Colorado. It came into his care on April 24th of 1961. It is believed to have remained with Mr. Langsam until his death in 1973. It is also thought to have remained in Colorado through the 1970s. In the early 1980s, it moved East, and was seen driving around New York City. It was soon put into storage where it would rest until 2018.

The car is said to be in good 'barn find' condition. Its body and chassis are straight, and the doors and trunk have a good fit.
