Introducing Daisy
Discussion
Thank you all for the kind words. Some comments in return:-
verminator : nothing dodgy - just named after the GF to sweeten her up after spending the value of a good house (up’nurf) on an old banger.
v8woollie: Daisy is a sweet name. My favourite
George H : “Absolutely stunning! Love the colour “ – Caribbean Pearl but will probably be RSW green or similar in a few months from now. The car has never been in the wild under my ownership and I don’t have a clue where Waddington is! Gaw’d these cars are as common as.
Hornbaek: Sir, You are gentlemen, a scholar and a man of exquisite taste!
AdamV12V: No photoshopping – just my p155-p00r use of “auto-correct”.
yeti: Fettling: no idea yet – building up the portfolio of who does the work and to what budget.
Currently looking (based on last re-build), interior to stay with current fabrics (patina and all that stuff), ditto engine which is a Vantage spec 4.2L and was rebuilt only 2 years ago, few panel mods for better fit, particularly driver’s door and boot lid, back to metal re-spray (RSW Green, Project Racing Green, or California Sage), bright-work to be re-done, cleaned-up, restore dash, new steering wheel, new colour matched plugs for holes were the bumpers were (to be renovated, wrapped and stored, a la café racer style ). Possibly electric power steering (with all originals retained for reversal). Everything else is in good usable nick including chassis, drive train, running gear, electrics etc…
Essentially, all fully restorable to original spec (except the engine) if so required.
F1 NDW: “The DB4 was first Aston that I drove way back in 1973. I still remember every moment of it!” – gosh. I was still making involuntary messes in my pants in 1973!
Snuffy: “I'll have to have a lie down now !” – hope you’re feeling better.
Mr Aston Martin: “Congratulations! Enjoy in good health. Now as you have now "married" your mistress you have also created a job vacancy.........;)”. Me - married, with my reputation? You cannot possibly be serious! I’m a cad and a bounder and proud to be!
Krisdelta: “BR 5.7l conversion?“ Not a chance. Nothing so tasteless and crude. She is a fine lady and not a porn star!
Thank you everyone once again.

Very common! This is the one I saw, didn't think there would be many DB4s about in light blue!
After some googling, it will look fantastic in RSW green (hopefully with tan leather
)
Congrats on your new purchase

Link not working Mike, but DP212 is California Sage Green
Great to see it racing at Classic Le Mans and also driven to the AMOC event at Blenheim a couple of years back...
DP212 looks more like RSW Green - or possibly a colour called "Project Racing Green" as seen on a few Zagatos but distinct from the Sanction Green. Great to see it racing at Classic Le Mans and also driven to the AMOC event at Blenheim a couple of years back...
California Sage (which is on my hot-list for the re-spray - as well as those above) I thought was a significantly lighter green like this:-
