Aston DB4
Sam,
I can't recall seeing any reference to this, which is a bit odd. Was it
perhaps Feltham rather than Filton?
It would be rather ironic given that it would have been shortly after
that when Bristol sub contracted out their own body manufacture, to
Jones in Willesden (?) and it remained 'outsourced' until the 411.
Aston had significant union related delays in production of the DB4 in
1959 after announcing they were moving to Newport Pagnell. So I suppose
it isn't out of the question that they had bodies made elsewhere but I
would like to see the proof!
