A left-hand drive 1961 Aston Martin DB4 Series III Sports Saloon, chassis DB4/606/L, delivered new through the J S Inskip distributorship to a New York-based owner. Originally finished in Sea Green with White Gold trim and chrome road wheels, the car retains its matching-numbers engine and received a comprehensive factory rebuild in 1969 at around 51,000 miles, encompassing mechanical, bodywork, and interior work.
