Description

Model information:

In 1950, the Iconic luxury British sports car manufacturer, Aston Martin introduced its first real production sports car: the DB2. This iconic model was developed based on a car that participated in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1949.

It was a two-seater with a full aluminum body, a multi-tube chassis, independent front suspension and most importantly a 2.6 liter inline 6 cylinder Lagonda engine delivering 105 HP. In 1953 Aston Martin introduced DB2 / 4 MK1. This car changed both mechanically and aesthetically from its predecessor. Because of the extra weight of the DB2 / 4 MK1, this variant got a more powerful 3.0 liter engine that delivered 140 HP.

In 1955 Aston Martin introduced the successor to the MK1: the MK2. The model had the same mechanics as its predecessor and only minor exterior changes. The main differences were a square rear wing and the addition of a sedan variant.

Approximately only 199, DB2 / 4 MK2 were built.
