Yahoo Autos This Aston Martin DB4 Spent The Last 45 Years In The Woods
Only a few more than a thousand DB4 coupés left Aston Martin's then new factory in Newport Pagnell wearing the Superleggera body designed by Carrozzeria Touring, and this particular example is a Series 2 that went to a famous voice actor in Los Angeles in 1962. It's a good thing that Aston offered a six-month factory guarantee, because a year later, the car had its 240 horsepower straight-six engine replaced and gained a new owner.
At some point in time, the Aston was repainted in green and the upholstery re-dyed black. What's for sure is that in the early seventies, it was driven from Colorado to Massachusetts, where it was parked outdoors at its new owner's home. Then, the trees started to grow. Quickly.
Almost five decades later, it was dug out, and this all original time capsule is now going under the hammer for an estimated $375,000 to $475,000. Knowing that a Series 2 costs roughly $750,000 nowadays, this half rotten but complete project car might just be a bargain, and it certainly deserves some love after spending its entire life next to a shed in Massachusetts.
