A walk in the woods

You may not be the person for new year’s intentions, but we decided to have more walks. Preferably in the woods nearby. Great idea, as it is not just good for you, but also because you never know what to find. We stumbled upon a Renault 4CV two years ago and a Citroen DS some 150 meters from home last spring.

And then there’s the 1960 Aston Martin DB4 that was unearthed in a Massachusetts forest late last year. An original, US-specification DB4 with many factory-options that was possibly used as a demonstrator or company car at first, with the factory records listing six service entries running between December 14, 1960 and July 17, 1961 with only 1,622 miles recorded during that period. Parked in the woods since the early 1970s, it does require a brave restoration now. The car is  to be offered for sale at Worldwide Auctioneers sale in Scottsdale on the 18th of this month. We’ll just go for another walk.
