Behold: the 1961 Aston Martin DB4 GT: pre-Bond, but similar in looks to its successor, the DB5. The luxurious DB4 was produced from 1958 to 1963 and its GT variant was sportier with a shorter wheelbase, lightweight aluminium panels and a more powerful 302bhp, 3.7-litre engine.
Only 75 were ever made and this vehicle is one of just 30 left hand drive models. Fully restored in 2020 and beefed up with a 4.7-litre engine, it’s expected to fetch at least €2.8 million at auction this Friday.

The Astons and the E-Type were among the greatest sports cars ever built.

The DB4 was, of course, designed by Italians…

i wouldn’t let the dog or the kids within an arse’s roar of that.
I wouldn’t let the kids :)
I’ve always had an interest in colloquialisms and local phrases:
I always heard this as “ass’s roar”.
But I suppose arse’s roar works also!
if you’ve ever heard me fart paulus, you’d know it makes sense. also, if you’ve ever met my kids you’d know exactly what i mean.
