Rusty old Aston Martin DB4 could reach £180,000 at auction

A classic Aston Martin DB4 that looks almost beyond repair could fetch as much as £180,000 when it goes under the hammer next month.

The model is incredibly significant in the history of the luxury car manufacturer, as it was the first car of the David Brown era that neither used a chassis derived from the experimental Atom of 1939 nor an engine designed by W O Bentley.
