1954 Aston Martin DB2/4
The 1954 Aston Martin DB2/4 is a right-hand-drive sporting 2+2 hatchback, one of the early examples of a model launched at Feltham in October 1953. Fitted with the enlarged 2,992cc twin-cam straight-six producing 140bhp, it carries valid FIVA papers potentially granting entry to the Mille Miglia. The car passed through the ownership of Philip Gould, a founding member of the pop group Level 42, during the 1980s, and has since benefited from significant expenditure with recognised marque specialists. It achieved a placing at the 2016 Aston Martin Concours d'Elegance.
