A left-hand-drive 1962 Aston Martin DB4 Series III saloon with Touring Superleggera coachwork, chassis DB4/605/L, this car was designated the 1962 New York Motor Show display vehicle before delivery to its first owner in Lancaster, Ohio. Finished in Fiesta Red over Fawn leather, it retains its original Motorola radio and is documented by copies of factory build records. After decades of U.S. ownership the car received a repaint in what appears to be its original colour and an interior retrim, but is otherwise substantially unaltered.
