Aston Martin DB4 to go under the hammer

Sports car insurance seekers might be interested to note that an Aston Martin DB4 is set to go up for auction next month.

The motor - which replaced the DB Mark III and cost £3,976 when it was launched - is set to go under the hammer on December 4th at a Historics at Brooklands sale.

It is expected to fetch between £120,000 and £140,000 and the auctioneers noted it "represents a rare opportunity to acquire an original and unmolested example of a car that epitomises sporting sophistication".

What's more, the vehicle - which was registered on November 9th 1961 - has had just four owners in 50 years and has clocked up 72,000 miles.

In June, Historics generated more than £2 million at its first ever auction - watched by over 500 people - which included 65 cars that were brought from as far away as Australia.
