This DB4 Series IV Coupe was ordered new in California Sage Green
with Fawn leather through Aston Martin dealer, Hornburg Motors. It
was delivered to its first registered owner, Mr. D. Wolfe, Tucson,
Arizona. Having retained the DB4 for over 30 years, ownership
history and records show Mr. Wolfe as the DB4's caretaker through
the late 1980's. Then owned by well-known AMOC member and Aston
collector, Mr. C. Salyer, the DB4 was cosmetically and mechanically
restored by West Coast specialists. At this time, the DB4's color
combination was Aston Racing Green with Black leather interior, its
cam covers were painted Red, it had lost its front and rear bumpers
and its fenders flares had been slightly widened to fit and house
wider 289 Cobra wire wheels with larger tires. It was quite the DB4
hot rod.
Subsequent ownership history shows, Mr. B. Buerlin, Richmond,
Virginia having owned this DB4, showing it at various Aston Martin
Owners Club events throughout the 1990's.
Purchased by its most recent owner in the early 2002, this DB4 was
delivered to Autosport Designs for restoration. The restoration was
photo documented, the DB4 stripped to metal, the fender flares
returned to stock configuration and no stone left unturned to
return this DB4 to its former glory. During the restoration, it was
decided to paint the DB4, rare and seldom seen Almond Green
Metallic with Black leather interior and Black Wilton Wool carpets.
The DB4 received various updates and upgrades including: Harvey
Bailey handling kit, Telescopic rear shock absorbers conversion,
replacing the original, antiquated lever arm shocks, Electronic
ignition, a period factory radio box and a period Becker AM/FM
radio.
Having been in its most recent ownership for the past 30 year, this
DB4 has accumulated approximately 3,000 miles since restoration. It
has been serviced regardless of use while in its previous
collection-collector ownership and thus ready and able for
immediately use and touring pleasure. The Aston Martin DB4 is an
ideal vintage motorcar and as comfortable around town as it is on
lengthy journeys. In our opinion, one of the best candidates and
eligible for some of the world's finest rallies.
Complete with ownership, service histories, well-known provenance
and in superbly restored condition, this DB4 must be considered one
of the finest on today's market.
