Registration no. UFF 379
Chassis no. LML/50/12
Engine no. VB6J/228
Estimate: £190,000 - 240,000
Footnote:
The historic Aston Martin offered here, chassis number 'LML50/12', is one of the very rare 'First Sanction' DB2s, these cars being distinguishable by their characteristic three-piece radiator grille, side extractor grilles, all-round plated bumper strips, twin fuel fillers and flush-fitting front and rear screens with plated surrounds. As the first ten chassis numbers were allocated either to work team cars, motor show/press cars or development 'hacks', 'LML/50/12' is regarded as the second actual series-production example of this world-beating British sportscar. The body is numbered one before '50/11' and it is believed that '50/12' is the first production DB2 sold by
