DB4GT Replica

What with their only being 75 real DB4GT's in the whole world, it is not uncommon for DB4's to be converted to GT spec during a rebuild. These vehicles have 13 cm cut from the chassis which is most noticeable with the shorter doors. The engines will have triple Weber carburettors, the body panels will be made of lightweight thinner aluminium and the rear seats removed.

The cars illustrated are genuine Aston Martins but were not originally built to GT specification. The process of modifying the chassis and other major modifications may make registration of these cars as ‘historic vehicles’ somewhat difficult.  As the chassis has somelength cut out, DVLA in the UK have considered theses cars of indeterminate age. As such, they would probably not be eligible for the rolling 40 year exemption from annual MOT testing and vehicle excise duty. Worse is that they may loose their original numberplate and DVLA may apply a ‘Q’ non-age related registration.
