1962 Aston Martin DB4 SS Vantage Convertible

The DB4 Convertible offered open-air DB4 motoring. Around 70 built, making it rare and valuable. Elegant styling with the classic twin-cam six.

Engine: Tadek Marek six generally robust but specialist knowledge required. Carburettors need regular attention. Oil leaks common. Cooling system critical in summer. Transmission: ZF manual or Borg-Warner auto - both need specialist service. Electrics: Lucas components - rewiring often beneficial. Body: Superleggera construction means aluminium panels over steel frame - check for corrosion at junction points, repairs expensive. Chrome: Expensive to restore. Trim: Interior trim parts very expensive. General: These are appreciating classics requiring significant maintenance budgets. Expect £20k+ annually for proper maintenance. Specialist essential.
