The 1963 Aston Martin DB4 Series V Convertible being offered through RM Sotheby’s.
-
To bring the power plant back to the original factory specifications, a new Special Series engine block and GT cylinder head were created for the 3.7-liter inline-six mill.
-
Complementing the Midnight Blue exterior, red is the primary color inside, including the Connolly-leather upholstery.
-
The concours-quality restoration included hand-fabricating a number of new body panels.
-
The British model’s distinctly Italian look is owed to the bodywork of Milanese coachbuilder Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera.
-
Only 40 examples of the Aston Martin DB4 Series V Convertible were built.
-
The vehicle crossing the auction block is accompanied by a copy of the build sheet, previous titles, digital copies of period photographs, an Aston Martin restoration certificate, and a leather-bound book detailing the entire restoration process.
-
The estimated value of this collector-car ranges from $1.45 million to $1.95 million.
