Selling A 1951 Aston Martin DB2 Fixed-Head Coupe

 

The Aston Martin DB2 was the first successful post-war sports car for the Aston Martin brand, which had been recently acquired by David Brown. Although the DB1 wore the “David Brown” name – hence the “DB” – the DB2 is often considered the “first” David Brown Aston Martin. It would make its first appearance at the 1949 24 Hours of Le Mans race and would quickly transition into Astons premier production sports car. The 1951 Aston Martin DB2 Fixed-Head Coupe would boast a 2.6L six-cylinder engine paired with a four-speed transmission with a beautifully designed aluminum coupe body. The classic would be praised for marrying the performance and excitement of a Le Mans car with the practicality and comfort of a sports touring vehicle. When this praise was combined with notable racing successes, the Aston Martin DB2 Fixed-Head Coupe would see much interest from the public. In fact, Aston Martin was hand building these classics as fast as they could; it was an exciting time for the company. In total, approximately 411 DB2 models would be produced. It is estimated that approximately 309 were Coupe models. If you’re the owner of a 1951 Aston Martin DB2 Fixed-Head Coupe or Drophead Coupe and are interested in selling your classic, you’ve come to the right place.
