ASTON-MARTIN DB4

Yes, with those faired-in lights this Aston looks like a DB5, but it isn’t. Not, mind you, that a final edition, Vantage-engined DB4 is anything less than ultradesirable. These were the Astons that built the brand, with tubular ‘Superleggera’ body framing, straight six, 4.0-litre engines with more power than Jaguar made from its larger 4.2 and the cachet of Mr Bond lounging behind the wheel. They were expensive though and just a handful of DB4s and 5s were sold new in Australia, making this car with local history more desirable and a bit more valuable than recent imports.
