DB2/4 Mark II Drophead Coupe

(1955 - 1957)

The DB2/4 Mark II was also available with this wonderful drophead coupe body style. Powered as standard by the 140bhp 2992cc VB6J engine; the special series 165bhp unit was available as an option although their is no evidence that any dropheads were fitted with anything other than the regular unit. The DB2/4 Mark II drophead was the first production Aston Martin convertible with 'Tickford' coachwork from the famous Newport Pagnell factory.

Out of the 199 DB2/4 Mark II’s only 15 were built as drophead coupes, which makes is a particularly rare Aston Martin.

The car illustrated above was  a surprise entrant into 2014 AMOC Spring Concours. It had recently been awoken from a 30 year rest in a  Coventry Council lock-up garage, serviced, taxed, tested and put back on the road. It is in outstanding original condition with the addition of a rallying spotlight, brake servos and Jackall inbuilt hydraulic jacking system.
