A right-hand drive 1955 Aston Martin DB2/4 Mark I saloon, one of 451 produced, originally delivered through the Belgian importer Mannes to a Brussels company. The car retains its matching-numbers 2.6-litre VB6E engine and is believed to have covered a genuine 75,000 kilometres from new. It has had only two registered owners across its entire history. Substantially original throughout, with a repaint from Moonbeam Grey to light green and an interior retrim, both carried out around 1985. It is eligible for the Mille Miglia.
