The 1962 Aston Martin DB4 is up for sale with Gullwing Motor Cars in New York for almost £270,000.
That might seem like a lot of cash for a car that looks like this after being neglected for so long, but restored it will be worth much more.
In fact, depending on the age, mileage, condition and provenance, some DB4s have sold for in excess of £1million.

The advert says that this DB4 comes in ‘Blue with red leather interior.’
It goes on: ‘Retaining its matching numbers engine, this DB4 has been sitting in storage for the last 30 years patiently awaiting restoration.
‘After the previous owner returned from Vietnam in the 1970’s, he went back to work at a local body shop.
‘When his boss asked him to help with a repair on his own car, he agreed to go over to his house and work on the car.
‘He worked on the car over the course of a few weeks and once he completed the job, his boss gifted him the Aston Martin DB4.
‘He had the car towed home and planned on restoring it but just never got around to it.
‘He parked it in a barn where it sat until recently when it finally saw the light of day after over 30 years in storage.’
The Aston Martin DB4 has a 3.7-litre straight-six petrol engine and its lightweight alloy body was fashioned by Carrozzeria Touring of Milan.
Only around 1,100 Aston Martin DB4s were ever made making this an extremely rare find.
