Aston Martin DB2/4 MK III from 1958. Dark blue with blue interior. This Aston Martin Mk3 is in excellent condition. The history is well documented. The complete history can be found in AMOC's personalized blue book. The DB Mark III was never a cheap car, at the time it was even one of the most expensive cars available. With this model, Aston Martin's sports car reputation was created. This is due to its reliability, excellent handling and performance. Tickford designer Bert Thickpenny designed this model, introducing the DB3S-style grille, which immediately created the distinctive look of the subsequent Aston Martins DB4, DB5 and DB6. This new front compared to the previous DB2/4 models gives the car a more imposing appearance. The interior also featured a redesigned dashboard with instruments grouped in a panel in front of the driver instead of in the center. The beautiful wooden steering wheel is also very recognizable for the classic Aston Martins. The famous 6 cylinder engine benefited from an extensive redesign by Tadek Marek and has, among other things, a stiffer engineblock, a stronger crankshaft and a new cylinder head with larger valves. The version with the double exhaust has 178 hp. Despite the inevitable weight gain, the Mark III was faster than all its predecessors. This Mk3 has only 2 owners in the last 50 years and has been registered in Belgium since 2010 after being imported from England. The 2.9 ltr. engine now has about 185 bhp after it was completely overhauled 5 years ago and slightly tuned with different camshafts. The suspension, exhaust and brakes were also recently renewed. This Aston was repainted a few years ago in the original color Pacific Blue. The blue interior is still for 75% original. All dashboard instruments are original and function perfectly. The paint is extremely beautiful, the door openings are excellent and all the small details are correct and in perfect condition. Looking at the small details, the car has been very well preserved. The chrome on the car is excellent. No signs of wear or pitting. The original Tickford badges are still present on both sides. The MK3 stands on 16" painted spoke wheels with good Vredestein Sprint Classic tires The DB2/4 has a generous amount of interior space and ample luggage space. The car drives very well and is easy to drive with more then sufficient engine power. The appearance of the Aston is sublime. The car attracts attention not only because of its fantastic sound, but also because of its excellent colour combination and dark spoke wheels. Only 551 of this classic Aston Martin Mk3 were produced between 1957 and 1959. A beautiful English classic. This Aston Martin can only be seen by appointment.
