1963 Aston Martin DB4 Series V

Featuring a four-speed gearbox and coil spring suspension all round, the Aston handles tidily even on the 6J rims and Dunlop R Sport tyres – narrow by modern standards but correct for the period. The sound from the straight six is deep-throated and has wonderful resonance on the over-run – a real engine in my view, not like the screamers of today at all!
