Aston DB4

[406Special]

Post moved from Bristol Ephemera

At Alpine Eagle 3 months ago when down inspecting progress on my "Alpine
Bristol Sport", there was a lovely DB4 Superleggera which had been recently
purchased as a must have by one of AE's clients. Interestingly enough it
looked to all the world absolutely perfect...except that at the asking price
of £125k, AE reckon it was at least £20k overpriced anyway, but due to a
very poor restoration (bodge job) to the front right side chassis (right
side wheel base was 1.25" shorter) and lower suspension, at least another
£20k was needed to put right to factory spec. Let's just say that when AE
jacked up the chassis the front right lower wishbone fell off the axle
upright. Car was finally purchased at £80k and about £25 spent to make it
as the owner wanted.

Moral Kevin is that a really good one (like the DB4 Superleggera) with
provenance is worth £80-90k over here I am assuming recent stock market
rumbles and Labour Govt debacles over wasted (£Bns) of tax payers "hard
earned" money hasn't dented the prices.
