Selling A 1953 Aston Martin DB2 Drophead Coupe

 

Aston Martin’s first successful post-war production car, the Aston Martin DB2 was far more than just an elegant sports touring car; it married Le Mans performance with the comforts of a luxurious highway car. Highly famed on the racing circuit with wins at Le Mans and the Mille Miglia, the Aston Martin DB2 would see its official debut as a production car at the 1950 New York Motor Show. The history, however, dates back to David Brown’s acquisition of both Aston Martin, which gave the chassis, and Lagonda, which gave the engine. The 1953 Aston Martin DB2 Drophead Coupe (as well as the Fixed-Head Coupe) is an excellent example of this illustrious history, as it marks the last year of production prior to moving to the Aston Martin DB2/4. Powered by a Lagonda 2.6L six-cylinder engine, the DB2 was capable of 115hp in standard tune and 125hp in Vantage tune. Despite being officially launched in a Fixed-Head Coupe style, a Drophead Coupe would quickly follow and would see approximately 97 models manufactured over the short three-year production period. In total, only 411 DB2 models would be produced.
