Once upon a time (about 1961) a beautiful DB4 rolled off the production line. We aren’t quite sure what happened over the next 10 years (although we intend to find out if we can) but in 1971 she was purchased by my husband.

For a couple of years she was his pride and joy – all this was before I met him of course – but then for various reasons he wasn’t able to drive her any more. She was exiled to a garage where she sat waiting outside waiting for some TLC….. Sadly, none came.

Almost 15 years went by before she was reunited with her owner when we moved to a house with enough garage space to accommodate her. But still she sat waiting for her prince to give her that one little kiss which would wake her from her slumbers.

The years passed and she slept on – the engine here, the seats there, some old sheets covering her beauty. But finally it happened! The prince, with a bit of help (well, actually quite a lot of help) from a faithful retainer (aka restoration expert) is awakening our sleeping beauty…..
