Shabby Aston DB4 Car Review

Here's an Aston Martin DB4 Series III. It has been stored for more than 30 years, it looks like a mess, need many hundreds of thousands of pounds of investment to make it look nice, and comes to auction.

The estimated selling price? 220,000 pounds, which is more than a new Vanquish. Welcome to the world of classic cars, circa 2015th.

The story goes like this. In July 1961, a man named Robert Drummond, who lives in London, paid good money to buy this Aston Martin DB4 Series III new. He sent Aston just two months after the purchase to get an overdrive equipped.

Between 1961 and 1982 - when the current owner bought the Aston - the story goes blank. And, well, it's pretty empty of the 33 years from 1982 to the present, because the owners began a restoration project but abandoned for any reason.

So the tired-looking DB4 storage for many, many years Sat Bonhams, offer for sale Aston symbol as part of its "Aston Martin Works' they say, the work started in the engine - which has been designed with new bearings, valves and new - while bits of chassis frames and windows were also fixed But that was in the eighties..

It is strictly sold as seen, it is said to offer "a renovation project of merit" and is expected to reach 200 thousand pounds 220K something pounds.

If you do not feel like getting your hands dirty, and feels like a classic Aston finished ready - and some jerk out there - there is also a brand new DB5 convertible to win. It is silver, LHD, has been restored from a British in the 1980s and looks absolutely beautiful bloody.
