• Leaner looking than its Mk1 forbear, the reduced girth of the MK2's roof posts not only gave occupants a far airier glasshouse but also presented onlookers with a rather more elegant shape
• Built as a monocoque, it featured independent coil-sprung front suspension, a well-located 'live' rear axle and all-round disc brakes
• Although slower on paper, the 3.4-litre cars nonetheless boasted some 210bhp and 216lbft of torque, an output more than sufficient to ensure a 120mph top speed and spirited acceleration especially when fitted with the desirable four-speed plus overdrive manual gearbox
• This handsome example is very well presented in Gloss Black over a classic Magnolia leather interior complemented by recently re-veneered woodwork
• UK-registered on 01/06/1961 to the first of four former keepers, one of whom looked after the car for 44 years
• Upgrades include power steering and an electronic choke, recent works include mechanical attention to the carburettors and brakes less than a few hundred miles ago
• On offer from a private collection that includes important Sixties Aston Martins, so it has been lightly used with the odometer reading some 68,000 miles at the time of cataloguing
