About this car

The DB2/4 was Aston Martin's first step towards a practical grand tourer, adding rear seats and a hatch-style opening to the DB2's sporting formula, and it keeps the 3.0-litre straight-six. This 1954 car, chassis LML/624, is finished in red with a beige interior and is right-hand drive.

It has been through a comprehensive restoration, followed by further mechanical preparation, and the dealer says the paperwork records several hundred thousand pounds of spending. The car also has a racing and competition history, and at 1954 it should be eligible for the Mille Miglia, subject to the event's entry requirements.

The odometer reads 47,700 miles. Registered MDA 727, it comes with a large history file that serious buyers can inspect. Price is on application.
