From the latest issue of AM News, I can add that Rob's friend is a member of the AMOC and that the car was stolen in Melbourne. The colour is in AM racing green, has chassis number DB4/180R and engine number 370975. Any Aston DB4 is valuable and this one having been uprated with that special head etc is no exception. Although there has been plenty of publicity both locally and internationally in the classic car movement and a car like this might be difficult to move on, the fear is that it could be broken up for its valuable parts, particularly that twin plug cylinder head. Anyone hearing of unusual transactions involving such items should contact the AMOC.
