Just arrived - Aston Martin DB4 Series Five Vantage with the desirable Special Series engine.

In September 1962 Aston Martin introduced the final version of the DB4, which was designated the DB4 Series V (Five) and featured a number of changes over previous versions including recessed three piece tail lights, a taller and longer body to provide more interior space and slightly smaller wheels, which kept the overall height the same. The front of most Series V cars had the same aerodynamic design with closed-in headlights as that already used on the DB4 GT, a style that was later carried over to the DB5\. In total only 50 DB4 Series V saloons were built between 1962 and 1963 and of these only 16 were finished in RHD to Vantage specification, which included the desirable Special Series (or SS) Engine.

The car offered here is one of these very rare Series V DB4 Vantages. A UK delivered late production car, and the 17th car from the end of production.
