A Series IV Aston Martin DB4, regarded by many as the most visually appealing iteration of the model, combining exposed headlamps with a revised grille and improved cooling. Delivered on 1 June 1962 via New York dealer J.S. Inskip to a Miami physician, it was specified in Caribbean Pearl over White Gold leather with a close-ratio gearbox, oil cooler, and Special Series engine. Little of its history between 1963 and 1989 is documented; by the latter year it was located in Massachusetts, and more recently formed part of a collection in Kuwait.
