Description

Developed from the renowned DB4 model, the DB4 GT was conceived and built by Aston Martin with international sports car racing and period ultimate road performance, firmly in sight.

Making its debut in 1959, a factory development prototype DB4GT (DP199) was prepared and raced in the Spring of 1959. Driven by Stirling Moss in a BRDC organised GT race at Silverstone, DP 199 recorded a notable outright victory on it’s first outing. Between 1959 and 1961, just 75 DB4 GT’s were produced with many being owned and driven in international sports car racing and the remainder kept for road use by their notable owners.

The DB4GT presented, Chassis DB4GT/0139/GT, was delivered new to its first Surrey based owner and thereafter regularly maintained by the manufacturer’s service department at Newport Pagnell, before being sold on after 17 years of single ownership to Aston Martin enthusiast Ian Warrener of Powys in Wales. Passing through 3 further owners before being sold to the USA in the early 1980’s. Returning to the UK in 1989 to new owner Philip Cowan of St Andrews in Scotland. Purchased by the last collector owner in 2006, this DB4GT was entrusted to renowned Aston Martin specialist engineers R S Williams Ltd, for restoration. Completed in 2008, the car was used on a tour to southern Spain and has subsequently been used on outings in the UK. Garaged in a de-humidified environment when not in use, the car has only 5,000 miles since it’s restoration.

Featured and described in the definitive Palawan Press publication ‘The Aston Martin DB4 GT’, DB4GT/0139/R has principally been used as a road car from new, with little competitive use recorded. Presented in its build colour of Sage Green, the interior re- trimmed during restoration, is in Connolly Tan Vaumol hides.

Today, 0139/R retains it’s matching to factory build records engine number, which as part of the restoration process was completely rebuilt by RSW and dyno tested, giving an impressive 365 bhp and 385 lbs/ft of torque. Fitted with suitably uprated suspension, improved braking and uprated engine cooling, performance of 0139/R can best be described as, sensational.

The detailed history file accompanying 0139/R, includes extensive period service history from Aston Martin’s own Newport Pagnell service department, during the first owner’s 17-year custodianship and includes, a copy of the manufacturer’s build record, a BMI Heritage Certificate, maintenance invoices and correspondence. A detailed account and photographic record of the restoration carried out by RSW, with engine Dynamometer print out and detailed specifications is also included within the leather-bound history file.

We are delighted to present this rare opportunity, to acquire a restored and fully run in example of the Aston Martin DB4GT which has been spared the ravages of a life in motor sport, has been comprehensively restored by renowned specialists and is in a superb condition having covered just 5,000 miles, since the restoration’s completion.

DB4GT/0139/R is available now for viewing and discussion, at our Hertfordshire showrooms.

DB4 GT Background info:

Using the renowned DB4’s Superleggera construction as a basis, the chassis of DB4GT’s was reconfigured with a shorter and lighter wheelbase, the engine race developed with high compression pistons, a twin ignition system and a triple set of 45mm Webber side draught carburettors, in all developing considerably more power and torque. Coupled with a David Brown close ratio 4 speed manual gearbox, optional final drive ratios and Girling disc brakes front and rear, the combination proved highly effective in period international sports car racing.
