Launched in 1958, the DB4 set the pattern for the classic Astons that followed. Its body was styled by Touring of Milan and built by the Superleggera method, aluminium panels over a light tube frame, with a new 3.7-litre six designed by Tadek Marek. The short-wheelbase DB4 GT and the Zagato are the most prized versions.
