In the DVD Commentary Director Bruce Robinson points out that this is his Aston Martin. I think this also featured in his second film How to Get Ahead in Advertising. /vehicle_28109-Aston-Martin-DB4-1962.html He says it's a 1961 model, but I don't think the convertible was released until 1962.

The DB4 Convertible was launched at the Earls Court London Motor Show in October 1961 and so it's considered a 1962 model.

Thanks for the info! So what year should we list it as?

The others are listed 1962 since one of the "rules" of the site is to consider the model year when giving the first year of a vehicle.
In the case of British makers, for instance, for a long time it was in the occasion of the London Motor Show that took place in September or October. Usually when a model is launched from the summer until the end of the year, is considered a next year's model. In certain cases ( depending on the makers ) it could happen even earlier.

One of the people who gave Robinson inspiration for the character of Withnail was a man called Jonathon Withnall who Robinson looked up to as a kid, he also had an Aston Martin and once backed it into a police car, but Robinson said the way he handled it made him look like the coolest man he'd ever met. This inspired his lifelong fondess for classic Aston Martins.
