1961 Aston Martin DB4 Series III
- Engine
- 3.67L twin-cam straight-six, 243 PS
- Colour
- Desert White
A 1961 Aston Martin DB4 Series III, chassis DB4/654/L, delivered new through a Vancouver dealership to its first recorded owner and specified in Desert White over red hide with several factory options. Driven heavily in its early years, the car was subsequently laid up at some point during the 1970s and survives in unrestored, original condition with its matching-numbers engine intact. Parking permits on the windscreen and period-correct tyres confirm a decades-long dormancy, making it a compelling sympathetic restoration candidate.
