In September 1961, the DB4 received some of the most notable revisions since its introduction in 1958. This included an egg-crate grill and a slimmer, more squared-off front hood scoop.

Available as an option was the Special Series engine with three SU HD8 carburetors and a new cylinder head with larger valves. A full Vantage-spec DB4 Series IV included this engine with covered headlights from the DB4 GT.

Our feature DB4 Series IV, chassis DB4/827/L, was originally delivered to Ontario, Canada in Caribbean Pearl with dark blue Connolly leather. Retained by the same family for over 50 years and kept in original condition.

At their 2011 Amelia Island sale, Gooding & Company sold DB4/827/L for $440,000 USD. It had only 39,262 miles on the odometer with original exterior paint, date-coded Triplex glass, Lucas Le Mans headlamps, window felt, rubber weather stripping. It was sold with the original owner’s manual, the sales agent’s business card, jack, Dunlop RS5 spare and leather jack straps.

In 2012 the car was thoroughly cleaned for inclusion into the Post-war preservation class at the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
