About this car

The DB2/4 was Aston Martin's 1950s step towards a more usable grand tourer, taking the DB2's sporting character and adding extra practicality. This 1954 car, chassis LML/624, carries the UK registration MDA 727 and the engine number VB6B/50/358.

The dealer reports a comprehensive restoration followed by careful mechanical preparation, with the aim of a car that can be driven rather than just shown. It has had long-term ownership and has a competition and racing history, though the page gives no details of events. As a 1954 model it is described as eligible for the Mille Miglia retrospective.

A large history file accompanies the car, said to document very substantial spending. The page gives no mileage, colour or owner count. The price shows an "Accepted" marker, which suggests an offer has been agreed.
