Bidding on A 1963 Aston Martin DB4 Series V Vantage, Chassis DB4/1042/R
Current bid
$1,360,000Your maximum is confidential. The house never bids it in one go — it raises you by a single increment at a time, only as far as it must to keep you in front.
Bid $1,385,000 on a lot standing at $1,360,000 and the lot moves to $1,365,000 — not to your ceiling. You pay your maximum only if someone pushes you there.
A bid inside the last 2 minutes extends the clock, so nobody wins a lot simply by arriving one second before the end.
A buyer’s premium of 12% applies to the hammer price. At $1,360,000 that is $163,200, for a total of $1,523,200 excluding shipping and any applicable tax.

Catalogue note
Right-hand drive, finished in Dubonnet Rosso over Fawn Connolly hide. Vantage specification with triple SU carburettors, 9:1 compression and the faired-in headlamps of the final DB4 series — in effect a DB5 in everything but name.
Subject to a bare-metal restoration completed in 2018 by a marque specialist in Warwickshire, with the engine rebuilt to standard Vantage specification and the original numbers-matching block retained and refitted. Invoices totalling in excess of £310,000 accompany the car, along with the Aston Martin Heritage Trust certificate confirming original colour scheme and delivery date.
Approximately 1,400 miles covered since completion, largely shakedown and two continental tours. Presented with a fitted tool roll, jack, and the original buff logbook naming the first owner.
Provenance
Supplied new by Brooklands of Bond Street, February 1963; four owners from new, the present since 2016.
Condition
Restoration required
Sold as found. Conservation work is required.
Condition reports are the house’s opinion, offered in good faith. Lots are sold as viewed; the absence of a remark does not imply the absence of a fault.
