DB2/4 Mark II Fixedhead Coupe

(1955 - 1957)

With the introduction of the DB2/4 Mark II with coachwork by Tickford, Aston Martin also offered a new third body style, the fixedhead coupe also known in some circles as a notchback. This attractive two seater car had very similar accommodation to the drophead but was priced the same as the more versatile three door saloon. The actual first car was built my Mulliners in Birmingham as a converted 2/4 but all of the true Mark II versions were built in Newport Pagnell

Although it doesn’t appear so, the occasional rear seats are a little more spacious than the regular saloon due to a higher roof line. During just two years of production only 34 examples were made making them one of the most desirable of all the Aston Martins of the 1950’s.

The fixedhead coupe was also continued with the Mark III although this was only introduced at the tail end of Mark III production and only six were built.
