1959 Aston Martin DBD MK III

F or enthusiasts of classic Aston Martin automobiles, the DB Mk III may be the epitome of grace and go. This series, which was manufactured in 1958 and 1959, represents a huge departure from the DB 2/4 Mk II model from which it owes its existence.

Folding rear seats, redesigned grille, new disc brakes and an all-new hydraulic clutch were standard fare. Buyers also had a choice of two engines, including the powerful DBD unit, which featured three SU carburetors helping to produce 195 horsepower -- an astronomical amount of oomph in that period.

The Mark III was available with a choice of three body styles -- hatchback, fixed head coupe and drophead coupe. Because of its original $7,450 price, this great example of British motoring was popular with the well heeled, and out of reach of most enthusiasts.

Even today, the DBD Mk III commands a handsome reward. Excellent examples, like the one shown here, which was raced at Bonneville, can fetch upwards of $200,000. Other models, however, in great condition can be found for about half that amount. Expect to pay a premium for drophead, or convertible, models. -LS
