Tom Talks: Aston Martin DB4GT Special | Tom Hartley Jnr

Welcome to our latest episode of ‘Tom Talks’. In this episode we take a closer look at two very special Aston Martin DB4GTs.
Marque expert Stephen Archer joins Tom to discuss both cars and they share not just their model knowledge but histories of both individual cars.
It’s fair to say, Aston Martin’s don’t get much more special than these two cars.
We hope you enjoy and feel free to give us your feedback below.

The prettiest car in the world! A DB 4 GT in primrose yellow. Cheers from Sweden!

[@waynemarlow8157]

What a couple of stunning 4GTs! The primrose yellow example is utterly gorgeous!

[@RichardMichaelOwen]

great passion here for the DB4GT in detail. Learned a great deal about the 9 lightweights thanks. 18TVX was in Goodwood livery but repainted now? Please bring the primrose car to Pebble, would love to see it!

[@johnprice8655]

I so enjoyed this sit down video

[@Illumislights]

The gentleman Hartley.. Great presentation...

[@meeshker]

Love the the DB4 GT. My second favourite after the DB4 Volante.

[@DarkDeath-yg7nv]

have to say that between the 4, 5 and 6, the db4 is my favourite so over the db5 james bond thing the bd4 has to be right up there as one of the most beautiful cars ever built, and the zagato takes it just that little bit further - in my opinion have a beautiful print of the '61 tt race in my office and was always in awe of the swb and gt flying around the track great vid, really enjoyed it 👍

[@mrandsp]

The story of these cars is absolutely fascinating, and the three quarters of an hour seemed to pass in a fraction of that time. Pure quality - both of cars and conversation; thank you. More please!

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Glad you enjoyed it - expect more to come!

[@denniswhite9721]

Have a DB9 Volante, love Astons, had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Archer at Pebble last year, and this is a fantastic video. Thanks Tom, please keep them coming!

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Thanks Dennis - glad you enjoyed it!

[@bowlock9901]

Always a pleasure.

[@bondy284]

That was absolutely brilliant 👏👏👏 Loved the conversation format. Two incredible cars with such a rich history👍🇦🇺

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!

[@martinboulden4388]

What an awesome surprise Tom. Thank you for this brilliant video. ❤

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@nigelprice7953]

Stephen Archer was a great guest. His enthusiasm was infectious. I learned a lot from the video. Just needed a GT Zagato to make the story complete 😉

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Glad you enjoyed it and who knows what's around the corner... ;)

[@clooperman3745]

@@TomHartleyJnrLtd Really enjoyed the video of these two stunning looking DB4GTs. Live 15 minutes from the Newport Aston works but only see the modern Astons parked out front now, none of which for me look as good as these two GT4s.

[@TheLambo123254]

Love the Tom Talks! Please keep them up Tom! I always look forward to a new upload :)

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Thanks! Will do!

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

What wonderful cars and a great interview!

[@roccodevilliers406]

👌🏻Subline examples.

[@robth4148]

Music at the end absolutely spoilt a very fine video. It would have been lovely to hear the cars at full chat.

[@andrewholt3849]

Great channel. Just discovered your dad’s channel as well. That C-Reg Aston Martin DB4 GT, in British Racing Green/ Goodwood Green, is my 1965 Birth year car: Coming in, in August 1964 for one year, most of 1965. Some commentators on the Collecting Cars Podcast latest: Episode 2 of their ‘Collecting Cars’ podcast (episode 2 of the revamped format with a panel of taking heads; instead of the more expensive individual guests, like the lockdown series, advertising for online car auction site for hat also has Swiss watches on now, were postulating that Aston Martin is about to be taken over. I have seen the MrJWW series at Aston Martin’s state of the art heritage restoration facility at historic Newport Pagnall and there’s the excellent DBX707 South Wales purpose built factory for you their Mercedes AMG powered SSUV. Perhaps you could buy it with the correct backing? It has the successful F1 team, just now with ex-World champion Fernado Alonso their new signing just reporting for duty at the F1 facility adjacent to Silverstone Race Track. Collecting Cars were also writing-off Jaguar Cars. That another great British brand you could develop. Andrew Holt

[@Marthaviews]

Another stunningly informative video, thank you.

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@AleksandrHalas]

As always perfect

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Thanks!

[@craigyirush3492]

Wonderful video!

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Thank you very much!

[@HAWGGY85]

Thank you for the review of these gorgeous cars!

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Glad you like them!

[@firefighterps2]

The Primrose Yellow GT is stunning.

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Isn't it just!

[@wraitheful]

Great video! Unfortunately, I missed the name of the guest’s book 📕

[@kevincoombs7348]

Could I have seen 18TVX at Pau Historeque a number of years ago? Seems to ring a bell.

[@ralphmillais5237]

Excellent video, talk about blue chip cars!

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Thank you! 👍

[@overbuiltlimited]

I have to wonder what kind of fine it is in the UK to run sans front plate. I have never run front plates on any of my cars and I have never once been stopped for it in thirty seven years of driving. If I owned one of these two beauties, there is no way I'd run a front plate on them.

[@brianiswrong]

I wonder if in period, the primrose one could have towed the green one to the races? Now that would have been bad ass.

[@niuxian]

I am here!

[@luisalfonso1982]

Good evening, Why don't you make a video about your 1963 AM DB4 CONVERTIBLE which you have for sale??kind regards

[@GM-fh5jp]

Great episode Tom, one of your best and a worthy start to 2023. I'd have the Primrose and enjoy holding the Best of Show trophy at Pebble Beach ;) ps...any chance you can get a hold of one of the competition LWB Cali Spyders for a drool and review episode?

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Thanks - glad you enjoyed it!! Start as we mean to go on...

[@colinhawkins6853]

Fantastic piece. How could you possibly choose between the two.

[@TomHartleyJnrLtd]

Thanks Colin!

[@playtimehulot7383]

I'm a collector only for classic cars in their status of the "First Restauration". I'd like to buy the Primrose Db4 GT but only if you change it back in his "Original First Restoration" status! Please contact me if the car is again "Dark blue with beige leather" PS: I wonder. Don't you know the newest collector trend: "Collect The First Restauration Status"? 😉

[@neilperry2224]

Oh would that collector Neil Corner?

[@johnc6040]

You managed to extrapolate it from him. Interesting

[@belgreenhills]

What a shame that someone has “any” car with the “lowest mileage”. It was meant to be driven. Otherwise it’s a paperweight and not as intended.
