1963 ASTON MARTIN DB4 SERIES 5 VANTAGE GT Chassis Number: DB4 /1144/R Engine Number: 400/1358 1 of 6 Built! This outstanding example is one of only six DB4 series 5 that were built with a Vantage GT engine. A 15' wheelbase which was 3 1/2" longer than a standard DB4! The car was restored, starting late 1986 and ending in early 1988. The restoration was performed by Beaufort Restorations of Maidstone, England and the engine was built by Aston Specialist, Richard Williams. It was discovered by Mr. Williams that the original engine block (370/0213GT) was not useable, so the block was changed to 400/1358. While Beaufort restorations pressed on with the restoration of the car, Richard Williams was to build up the engine to specifications similar to that used for the engine of the racing DB4’s that he prepares. The only provision was that it must have good road manners too. This beautifully restored example is equipped with a five speed gearbox and a DB5 rear end, this car was vintage raced successfully for a number of years. Some of the extra's fitted to this car from new was a 17" steering wheel, heated rear window, electric windows, 2 wing mirrors and 2 Marchal fog lamps.
