a 1960 DB 4 with just 37,000 miles, came to auction, out of a collapsed garage, where it had been forgotten for 35 years, and sold for £145,000 (thank you Stephen R!)

“The garage it was in, the roof had gone completely,” Derek explains. “It was quite clear that the owner never went in there, blanked the car out of his mind. The Aston was tucked away, with flat tyres that we pumped up, and a tree blocking its exit that we had to cut down."

New owner Julian Crossley is no stranger to restorations so his plan for the DB4 is to show how much restoration you can do at home, even on an Aston Martin! Using specialists where needed, Julian will be sharing the restoration journey to encourage others into restoring cars. Work will start as soon as the NEC show is over, and you can follow the restoration on Crossley Motorsport’s Instagram channel.
