- 2.6L inline-six, 125 bhp, four-speed with overdrive, disc brakes
- Colour
- Metallic grey
The Aston Martin DB2/4 Mk III, chassis AM300/3/1364, was built for the American market in 1957 as a left-hand-drive example. Originally finished in metallic blue with fawn leather, it spent time in Hollywood before passing through several hands. By 2007 it required comprehensive attention; a full restoration completed by 2010 in the Czech Republic preserved the majority of original panels and interior fittings, with the car refinished in metallic grey with a cream Connolly leather interior. The DB2/4 Mk III is the model type referenced in Ian Fleming's Goldfinger.
