Many lovers of
English classic cars believe that this vehicle is one of the
most beautiful sports cars of this era.
The DB 2/4 was built
from 1953 to 1957 and was essentially based on the earlier DB2
model.
David Brown, the
managing director of Aston Martin, was himself so convinced of
his sports cars that he had some cars prepared for both the
Mille Miglia and the Monte Carlo Rally in
1955.
Interesting detail,
the type designation DB are the initials of David
Brown.
However, it is not
so much the racing and rally history as the sheer form and low
numbers that make the Aston Martin DB 2/4 II so
interesting.
Both the King of
Belgium and the King of Jordan - as well as the Duke of Kent
(Queen Elizabeth II's cousin), as well as racing driver Peter
Collins, high-speed legend Donald Campbell and, perhaps less
surprisingly, David Brown himself are said to have owned a
DB2/4.
And James Bond drove
one in Goldfinger, too.
There is a history
to this beautiful and perfectly restored Aston Martin DB2/4
since 1st delivery. The vehicle comes from a classic car
collection. A full restoration was done from 2002 to 2007 for
over 200,000 Euros at the time and no cost or expense was
spared to make the car better than new. All parts used
for the restoration are original Aston Martin spares where
possible.
The DB2/4 has been
rebuilt to be Mille Miglia ready, the engine produces a
whopping 185 horsepower like the DB3S race car, electric power
steering has been retrofitted for better
handling.
The Aston Martin comes with German vehicle registration. An Austrian individual vehicle approval can be carried out at the customer's request for an expense allowance.
The sale takes place in brokerage in the name of the current owner.
