Bruce Robinson's car was 1962 Aston Martin DB4 Convertible, registration 748 DGE, chassis no. DB4C/1075/R "Until recently the car belonged to film director Bruce Robinson, its owner for 25-or-so years, best known for his cult comedy classic, Withnail & I. The latter starred Richard E Grant and Paul McGann as the eponymous duo and also featured the Aston, which appears in the background in a street scene. Robinson had always wanted a DB4 convertible and circa 1981/1982 discovered this example up on blocks in a Fulham garage where it had been for 18 years. He bought it for £8,000, a lot of money then, and spent a further £15,000 getting it back on the road. According to a the accompanying (copy) build sheet, chassis number ‘1075’ was sold new via HW Motors Ltd to Mr GM Roberts, of Thomas Christie & Co Ltd, Aldershot in November 1962. The car was finished in Snow Shadow Grey with dark blue Connolly hide interior trim. Little is known of its subsequent history until Robinson found it" - from 2009 Bonham's auction notice, sold for £241,300 inc. premium. |
