Overview about this 1959 Aston Martin DB4 Series 1 for sale

This is a very early Series 1 DB4, and its interest is what was done to it rather than what left the factory. The dealer records that it was bought in the early 1970s by Richard Williams, who had served his apprenticeship at Aston Martin in 1961 while the DB4 was still in production, looked after Peter Sellers's cars, and founded R.S. Williams in 1968.

Williams developed it into a fast road car and competed with it at Aston Martin Owners' Club events and hill climbs. It was given a later 4.0-litre DB6 engine with Vantage-specification triple Webers, and the wheel arches were subtly flared for wider wire wheels. It then passed to one owner who kept it for over thirty years.

The dealer states a recent restoration by Pugsley & Lewis and Prestige Restorations at a cost above 222,000 pounds, including an engine rebuild to 4.2 litres and unleaded conversion, and an extensive history file with the factory build sheet, Heritage Certificate, historic MOTs and the original buff logbook.

This 1959 Aston Martin DB4 Series 1 shows 63,730 km. It is powered by a 4.2-litre straight-six, rebuilt from a DB6 unit, Vantage-specification triple Weber carburettors engine.

Equipment includes Factory air conditioning, Power steering, Discreet Bluetooth connectivity.

The price is on request. The car is located in London, United Kingdom.

FAQ

This Aston Martin DB4 in the European market

How this car sits against the other Aston Martin DB4 advertised in Europe on 2026, and what to settle before a cross-border purchase.

Can this Aston Martin be bought in the United Kingdom and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in London, United Kingdom. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How does the mileage of this Aston Martin compare?

63,730 km recorded, against a median of 11,275 km across the Aston Martin advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service history and previous owners are not published on LUSSO and should be confirmed with the selling dealer.

Who is selling this Aston Martin DB4, and how does a purchase work?

Joe Macari, a professional dealer in London, United Kingdom. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Aston Martin DB4 be inspected before purchase?

The car is at London, United Kingdom, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history: LUSSO does not publish these and cannot confirm them.

Is this Aston Martin DB4 still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Joe Macari before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.

What is needed to register this car if it does not stay in the United Kingdom?

A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled. Temporary export plates and transport insurance are arranged either by the dealer or by the buyer. Requirements differ by country and should be confirmed with the selling dealer before payment.

Where can I see the wider Aston Martin market?

LUSSO publishes a market overview for the DB4, covering current asking prices in Europe, availability by country, why prices differ, how VAT works on a cross-border purchase and what to compare between two cars. See the Aston Martin market overview
