DB4 - evolution of body style?
Discussion
I've been offered a DB4 Series 4 car and am sorely tempted.
I prefer the lighter look of the DB4 over the 5. However, I recently saw a series 1 DB4 parked in the street and thought it looked even more svelte than the series 4 car I have been looking at. This may have been a trick of the light and explained by the different colour, or was the body shape evolved through the run of DB4s? I know there are little differences regarding tailights etc.
The car is wearing its original paint, overdrive and also has factory electric windows. It's in good, if not mint, condition. Private seller. 60k miles (believed original). Patchy history. Any idea of what I should be looking to pay?
Thanks

Top DB4 series 1 and series 2 cars are fetching close to £200k now. I should know, I have one I prefer the lighter look of the DB4 over the 5.

Prefer the series 4 grill, but like the larger intake on series 1-3. Sigh.
