1950-53 Aston Martin DB2

T he first true production car for Aston Martin, and the first significant series of Aston Martin cars fitted with David Brown’s initials, was an almost instant hit on the race track and in the showroom. The amazing dual-overhead cam six-cylinder Lagonda engine, designed by W.O. Bentley, propelled the DB2 to a number of racing victories, which ultimately helped drive sales for years to come.

Many consider the DB2 to be among the first supercars in the world. The first production DB2 debuted in April 1950 at the New York Auto Show. The next three models, however, were quickly pulled from the factory in order to compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Two of the cars finished in glorious fashion, with first- and second-in-class finishes.

Altogether, 411 DB2 models were built during a production run of only three years, including 102 examples of the drop head coupe. Early models boasted 105-horsepower engines, while models built in 1951 had a 125-horsepower Vantage engine, which provided a bit more spice to the ride. The interior was comfortable, but not ostentatious, and the ride was firm and confident – just the way Brit drivers liked it. –Larry Sanata
