Aston Martin DB2/4 MK2 RestorationAston Martin DB2/4 MK2 Restoration
This rare and most desirable of all post-war Aston Martin cars is undergoing its restoration journey by Richards of England.
First delivered on the 22nd of November 1956, this DB2/4 remained much the same as the DB2, employing the latter's rectangular-tube chassis, trailing arm independent front suspension and well-located rear axle. While mechanically very little different from its predecessor, the DB2/4 MK2 was readily identifiable by its subtly altered lines, the most significant change being a 3/4" increase in roof height that afforded greater headroom.
There was a third body type on offer for the first time: a fixed-head coupe in a
'notchback' style. Very attractive, the 'notchback' afforded accommodation similar to that of the drophead version but was priced the same as the three-door sports saloon.
