Ultra rare 1950s Aston Martin with not even 2 miles on the clock goes up for sale – and it could be yours
YOU could get your hands on an incredible road-legal 1950s Aston Martin DB4 GT Continuation – with only 1.9 miles on the clock.
Unbelievable images show the race car finished in Moonbeam silver with dark brown luxurious leather, complimented with brown stitching interior.
Other pictures show stunning exposed carbon-fibre bucket seats with leather inserts David Brown Wings headrests and a leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel.
It has a DOHC 12-valve 4.2-litre inline-6 engine.
This car is a modern version of an iconic 1959 model driven by British racing star, Stirling Moss.
The DB4 GT was the fastest passenger sports car in Britain at the time.
The unbelievable listing read: “This particular DB4 GT Continuation has been made road legal in the UK and EU via the IVA compliance protocol performed by R-Reforged.
“Although Aston Martin built these DB4 GT Continuation models as non-road-legal track-only cars, R-Reforged offers a service to certify them for the street.”
After nearly 60 decades, the model on offer is one of only 25 crafted by Aston Martin to celebrate its racing career.
Le Mans winning driver Darren Turner was involved in its development ensuring Chassis number 0202R was up to modern standards.
Original supplier Borrani supplied the spectacular wire wheels.
The model is set to be auctioned by SBX Cars.
The listing explained that the 2018 Aston Martin DB4 GT Continuation is powered by a DOHC 12-valve 4.2-litre inline-6 rated for 340 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque.
It added: “A 4-speed manual transmission routes power to the rear wheels with a Powr-Lok limited-slip differential.
“This is not a restoration or a restomod, but a factory-built facsimile of the original DB4 GT with all-new parts down to the thin-gauge aluminium body over a tubular frame, the enlarged Tadek Marek-designed straight-6, and the 4-speed manual with straight-cut gears.
“Even the tools used in the process are the same as those used all those years ago.”
It comes after Aston Martin released its latest jaw-dropping convertible.
Priced at £175,000, the Vantage Roadster features a unique soft-top roof mechanism that sets it apart from its rivals.
The two-seater Roadster is powered by a 665hp 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, delivering a 0-60mph acceleration in just 3.5 seconds.
With a top speed of 202mph, it matches the performance of the coupe version while adding the freedom of open-top driving.
The standout feature is its roof, which Aston Martin claims is the fastest-operating fully automatic soft-top on the market.
