A rare opportunity to create the classic Aston Martin of your dreams.

This iconic DB4 Series II has a very interesting history having been originally imported into Germany by Aston Martin and Jaguar distributor. Peter Lindner.

Famous for his racing exploits in his Aston Martin DB4 GT and Jaguar Lindner Nocker Low Drag Lightweight E Type. Lindner was tragically killed whilst racing the Jaguar at the Autodrome de Montlhéry near Paris in 1964.

Dismantled for minor repair an incredible 46 years ago. circumstances meant that it was never rebuilt. frozen in time - until now!

Complete with the original German registration document this factory Left Hand Drive Aston can of course be converted to RHD as part of the restoration process.

Celebrating 100 years of Aston Martin and 25 years of Aston Workshop each model in the Aston Bespoke Range offers the very latest enhancements and upgrades. transforming them into the ultimate version of these iconic classics.

Body & Paint

The bodywork for this particular Bespoke DB4 has been completely renewed. this means that the time needed to complete the restoration will be significantly reduced and it also means that it is now ready for the next stage. paint.

We use the latest computer based technology. skill and experience. together with an enormous selection of paint codes to offer the widest range of colours imaginable.

Chassis

Dealing with the chassis correctly is paramount to a successful bespoke project.

The original chassis & floorpan of this DB4 have been completely re-furbished. The chassis was stripped bare and shot blasted to reveal any areas of corrosion. The corroded sections were then cut out and replaced. All internal sections were then treated with weld-through primer.

The result is a chassis that has been re-furbished to the highest standards. ready for the new body and the next stage of restoration.

Engine

At Aston Workshop we can produce engines which far surpass original reliability and performance.

With the benefit of modern materials. machining techniques and oils we regularly build high performance engines to the highest specification. a perfect example of what can be achieved when starting from scratch. using modern upgraded parts and appropriate modifications.

We encourage our Bespoke owners to stipulate final engine specifications after careful consultation with our industry leading experts.

Suspension

Modern. adjustable gas filled dampers. progressive rate springs and modern radial tyres have transformed the handling characteristics of modern cars. These dampers are now available to classic car owners too and are fitted as standard on all Bespoke models.

We are also working towards being able to offer in-car adjustable dampers on Bespoke models.

There is also the question of wheel & tyre choice. At the end of the day. this is a personal decision. and while we will recommend certain options that we know work well. the choice inevitably must be down to the owner.

Transmission

Thanks to our vast experience and some clever designs we have developed transmission enhancements that not only offer increased performance and safety but are also thankfully very discreet.

On the Bespoke DB4 we can offer the following:
