The Aston Martin DB4 is one of those cars where the details matter.

Introduced in 1958, it combined a 3.7-litre straight-six with Italian styling and lightweight Superleggera construction, creating a car that was every bit as capable as it was elegant. It also marked a new era for Aston Martin, eventually giving way to the DB5.

But keeping a classic like the DB4 on the road is about more than the big components. The smaller details matter too. Lighting, electrical components, switches, fittings and all the other parts that keep a classic usable are an important part of any restoration or maintenance job.

That is where Holden Vintage & Classic comes in. Founded in 1988 as a Lucas electrical specialist, Holden has built its reputation supplying classic automotive parts and accessories, with Aston Martin among the marques covered by its range.

For a car as beautifully engineered as the DB4, it is worth getting the details right.

Rear lamps for correct restoration.

A cracked lens or clouded housing is an obvious problem, but when you’re restoring an early post-war car, it’s worth looking a little closer.

Many cars from the period used all-red rear lenses rather than the amber lenses seen on later cars. That means a replacement can look perfectly right at first glance, but still be incorrect for the car.

At Holden Vintage & Classic, we stock Lucas fitments and correct reproductions, as well as the lenses, gaskets and rims you need to repair an original housing.

Summer's on its way out, which means one thing: time for one last sunny drive before the nights draw in.

The MGB was built for exactly this. Wicker hamper, tartan blanket, everything strapped down and ready because a good summer drive isn't really about the destination; it's about what you've packed for the stops along the way!

We've got everything you need to send the season off properly. Where's your last summer drive taking you?

Hella lighting: see and be seen.

If your headlights aren’t as bright as they once were, the problem may not be your eyesight. Over time, reflectors can deteriorate, and lenses can cloud, while older original units simply weren’t designed to deliver the same output as modern lighting.

Hella offers reliable replacement lighting in the correct sizes and specifications for your car, as well as those smaller interior and glovebox lamps that are easy to forget about until they stop working.

Built to fit, properly sealed and made for the job.

The first car James Bond ever drives on screen isn't the Aston Martin most people picture. In Dr. No (1962), Sean Connery takes a blue Sunbeam Alpine Series II up into Jamaica's Blue Mountains, chased by a hearse he outmanoeuvres by ducking under a digger's arm. Aston Martin didn't take over as Bond's car of choice until Goldfinger, two films later.

Most people who dismiss the Alpine as "not a proper sports car" are judging it against the wrong yardstick. Compared to a stripped-out MG or Austin-Healey, it looks soft: wind-up windows instead of sidescreens, a proper hood, a comfortable cockpit. None of that was Rootes cutting corners on sportiness. The Alpine was redesigned from 1956 specifically with the American market in mind, and comfort was part of the brief from the start.

Five series of development followed, each adding power and equipment without losing what made the original work.

Holden Vintage & Classic stocks parts to keep the Sunbeam Alpine where it belongs: on the road.

⚠️ See the Warning Before It Matters

A dashboard warning light only works if you notice it. Bulbs behind those small lenses dim with age and heat, often for months before the fade becomes obvious.

Original-spec replacements restore that brightness, so oil pressure, charge and handbrake warnings read as clearly as they did when the car was new.

💡 Every Headlamp Detail, Sorted.

A reflector replacement rarely stays a reflector replacement. Get the lamp apart and you'll usually find a split backshell, a perished gasket, or rim screws that gave up years ago.

Our headlamp range covers the whole job, not just the obvious part. 5¾" and 7" assemblies for full replacements. Backshells, rims, gaskets, grommets and mounting brackets for everything the rebuild uncovers underneath.

The idea that fibreglass bodywork made the Elan flimsy is a misconception that's followed the car for sixty years. In fact, the opposite was true: the backbone chassis did the structural work, and the fibreglass body just needed to be light, not strong. That's the whole Chapman philosophy in one design decision: performance from removing weight, not adding power.

Introduced in 1962, the Elan ran a twin-cam Ford-based engine, decent but not exceptional on paper. The chassis is what sets it apart. Independent suspension all round, precise rack-and-pinion steering, and a kerb weight low enough that direction changes felt almost instant.

Chapman's bet was that involvement mattered more than numbers, and the Elan proved it. It wasn't the fastest car of its era by top speed. What it offered was a level of connection between driver and road that heavier, more powerful rivals couldn't match.

Its influence outlasted its production run. The original Mazda MX-5 was built on Elan thinking, and lightweight sports car design still traces back to it.

Holden Vintage & Classic stocks parts to support the Lotus Elan and help keep these exceptional cars driving as Chapman intended.

Made in England, Made to Last.

Remax coils are made in England as direct equivalents to original Lucas fittings: 6-volt and 12-volt, acorn and push-in terminals, standard and sports outputs, and ballast-resistor versions, all covered.

Each one's built to the voltage and output the original system expected. Check which Lucas part your car left the factory with, and there's a Remax match here.

There are details in a classic car interior that no modern equivalent can replicate. The Smiths Classic gauge range is one of them.

Smiths instruments were original equipment on some of the most celebrated British cars ever made, from MG and Triumph to Jaguar and Aston Martin. The graduated dials, distinctive fonts, and chrome bezels are part of what makes a classic cockpit feel correct. A replacement that doesn't look right undermines everything around it.

Our Smiths Classic range is built to match original specifications, giving you the authentic look and accurate readings your restoration deserves. Available in a range of sizes and configurations to suit most British classic applications.
