Aston Martin DB2 /4 Mk II Saloon 1954
General description :
Wir offerieren einen von nur 199 jemals gebauten Aston Martin DB2/4 Mk II Saloon in der noch selteneren Ausführung als Linkslenker. Dieser 2+2 Sitzer mit Tickford Karosserie und begehrter Zweitonlackierung wurde am 16. Oktober 1956 an den französischen Aston Martin Importeur Majestic Automobiles nach Paris geliefert und erstmals mit dem Kennzeichen 83FK75 registriert. Über weitere Stationen in Frankreich kam das Fahrzeug vermutlich 1994 nach Deutschland. Besonderheit dieses Coupés ist, dass der Wagen ab Werk mit einem 165 PS starken Motor der sogenannten L-Serie versehen wurde. Diese brachten durch größere Ventile und eine andere Nockenwelle ca. 25 PS zusätzliche Leistung. Unser DB2 wurde vor mehreren Jahren aufwendig restauriert und befindet sich noch heute in einem sehr schönen Zustand mit tollem Glanz von Lackierung, Chrom und Speichenfelgen. Zur Dokumentation gibt es ein Wertgutachten aus 2017 über die Note 1 und 360.000€, sowie einen gültigen FIVA Pass, der als Eintritt zu den prestigeträchtigsten Rallyes dieser Welt gilt.
We offer one of only 199 Aston Martin DB2 / 4 Mk II Saloons ever built in the even rarer version as a left-hand drive vehicle. This 2 + 2 seater with Tickford body and coveted two tone paint was first delivered to the French Aston Martin importer Majestic Automobiles in Paris on October 16th, 1956 and registered for the first time with registration number 83FK75. The vehicle probably came to Germany in 1994 after some stations in France. A special feature of this coupé is that the car has been equipped with a 165 hp engine from the so-called L series ex works. These brought about 25 HP additional power through larger valves and different camshaft. Our DB2 was extensively restored several years ago and is still in a very nice condition with a great shine of paint, chrome and spoke rims. For documentation, there is an appraisal from 2017 for the grade 1 and € 360.000, as well as a valid FIVA Pass, which is considered entry to the most prestigious rallies in the world.
