New images of the current entry level convertible Aston Martin, the V8 Vantage Roadster 4.7 added today.

From September 1961, a number of small but noticeable changes were introduced to the DB4 so that the AMOC has designated such cars as ‘series 4’. The DB4 series 4 page has just received a full update and loads more images have been added today.

With the very kind assistance of my partners at Freestone Creative, the site has had some subtle but useful updates this week based on your very welcome feedback. We have made improvements to the navigation so it should be easier for you to find exactly what you are looking for. The old site (pre 2013) had a facility to move from page to page to see all the different model variants easily – and now we have brought it back by popular demand. The reworked homepage displays a list of updates and as a bonus, we’ve also added a breadcrumb menu for the categories and car pages so now you have a navigation element which takes you easily back to the main car category page. And a first for this site, a specially designed and implemented a search facility which you can find in the top navigation menu.

Since I started with the earlier DB4’s it makes sense to move on to the DB4 series 3 page.

Following with the update of the DB4 Series 1 page, the DB4 Series 2 page has also had an update with plenty of additional and previously unseen images.

With a special and unique dashboard like this it could only be the one-off DB5 by Ogle Design. I found some pictures I took a few years ago at a Spring AMOC Concours at Waddesdon Manor.

In 1958, the Aston Martin DB4 set a template for a sporting yet comfortable 2+2 GT that continues to this day with the DB9. The series 1 DB4 saloon was a sensation at the 1958 Paris Motor Show with it’s Italian styling, British construction and brand new 3.7 litre six cylinder engine designed by ex-pat Polish engineer, Tadek Marek. The series 1 has been fully updated with loads of new images.

This particular Aston Martin model is so rare, only two were ever built. It is also one of the most travelled as the rolling chassis was built in the UK, then it was shipped to Italy to receive the coach built body before final finishing in the USA. The page featuring the DB2/4 Drophead coupe by Bertone has been revised with additional images taken at Pebble Beach in 2007.

The Lagonda Rapide has for some time lagged in popularity behind the DB 2 door cars of the same era. Yet with only 55 ever built, they are at last becoming more highly regarded than ever before. The page has had a major revision and now features images of a fair few cars.

Often described as the ultimate DB7, the scarce GT model was only available for a year at the end of DB7 production. With the most powerful engine fitted to DB7, only 190 were built making them highly sought after.
