Buying a 1951 Aston Martin DB2 Fixed-Head Coupe

1951 Aston Martin DB2 Fixed-Head CoupeSome of the world’s most affluent people have driven the exceptional Aston Martin DB2 into their garage, among them Lord Brabazon of Tara, the renowned pioneering aviator who was Great Britain’s first licensed pilot. The first real post-war production sports car for Aston Martin, the DB2 was debuted at the New York Motor Show in 1950 and would see production through 1953. The 1951 Aston Martin DB2 Fixed-Head Coupe is an excellent example of these early classics, and boasted a 2.6L six-cylinder engine paired with a four-speed transmission. The two-seat Fixed-Head Coupe with its all aluminum body was also used extensively for Aston Martin racing at the time. In fact, the car was quite successful in motorsport, particularly at the Le Mans and Mille Miglia races. The Aston Martin DB2 is also notable for being the first Aston to wear the initials of the new company owner, David Brown. It is estimated that only 411 of the Aston Martin DB2 models were produced, of which approximately 309 were Fixed-Head Coupe models.

1951 Aston Martin DB2 Fixed-Head Coupe Buyer’s Guide

A very early space-frame unit, the chassis supported a modern independent front coil-sprung suspension with trailing arms, a transverse torsion bar, and Armstrong shock absorbers. Also coil-sprung was the live rear axle, which was located by the parallel trailing arms. This setup was quite advanced for the era, especially since Jaguars and Ferraris of the time made do with comparatively antiquated suspension technologies for more than two decades following Aston’s introduction of the coil-sprung system in 1949.
