1952 Aston Martin DB2 Vantage Saloon

The Aston Martin DB2 (1950-1953) introduced the Lagonda-derived 2.6-litre six-cylinder engine that would define Aston Martin for decades. Around 411 built. The DB2 established Aston Martin as a serious GT manufacturer with Le Mans class wins. Values from £200k for good examples.

Engine: Pre-war derived four (DB1) or Lagonda six - specialist knowledge essential. Carburettors. Cooling. Electrics: Period correct but unreliable by modern standards. Body: Aluminium coachwork - check condition carefully. Trim: Extremely rare parts. General: Museum-piece classics requiring significant investment and specialist care. Values appreciate but ownership costs high.
