Buying a 1953 Aston Martin DB2/4 Mk I

The Aston Martin DB2/4 Mk I was first released to the public in 1953 as an updated version of the DB2, which had been the first successful post-war production car for the British automaker. The first DB2/4 Mk I models were offered with the same 2.6L inline-six engine that had been used in the Vantage editions of the DB2; it was capable of approximately 125hp. The 1953 Aston Martin DB2/4 Mk I, being one of the first, would use this Vantage-style engine. It would be available in Fixed-Head Coupe and Drophead Coupe form, and would see very few external changes from the previous model. The Fixed-Head Coupe did receive a new single-panel windscreen in place of the previously divided windscreen, while the rear roof profile would be extended to give additional headroom for passengers that were now accommodated by the addition of two rear seats. Although tight and rather cramped for full-size adults, the 1953 Aston Martin DB2/4 Mk I was seen as an exciting sports touring car that was more practical and versatile than ever. With top speeds of 111mph and a 12.6 second time in the 0-60pmh sprint, it’s easy to understand why this car was such a head-turner in its day.
