| At the 1927 show, as well as the sporty shorter chassis model, Aston Martin unveiled the four door T-type saloon and T-type tourer on a longer 9' 6'' wheelbase chassis. Sadly, not only were they slow sellers, but the long chassis cars have had a very low rate of survival. The AMOC register lists 8 saloons, of which just one survives, and 6 tourers again with just a single survivor. | ||

This is T14, what appears to be the only surviving 4 door T-type tourer in existence, photographed at both the 2003 AMOC St. John Horsfall race meeting at Silverstone and also during the Parade des Pilots and AMOC track parade at Le Mans in 2006. |
 |
| In early 2006, Aston Martin unveiled the DB9 based Rapide and to many, this was the first four door Aston that they were ever aware of. But the T-types from the late 1920's show that Astons with ample space and access for four people are obviously nothing new. | ||
