Aston Martin DB2/4 MK1 Drophead Coupe – Extremely Rare and in Concours Condition
This stunning DB2/4 MK1 was delivered new in 1955 and underwent an extraordinarily meticulous and comprehensive “nut & bolt” restoration, with absolutely no compromises made in terms of originality or quality. The result is an Aston Martin that is in absolute concours condition and is truly flawless down to the finest detail. We don’t use the term ‘concours condition’ lightly, but in this case, it’s undeniable. With only 102 examples ever built, this is an absolute rarity.

Restored to Factory Specifications
The restoration was carried out according to the original Aston Martin factory specifications, with the original colors faithfully recreated, and the engine is matching numbers. During the restoration, the original Aston Martin factory build sheet was used as a guide to ensure absolute authenticity.

Impressive Condition Down to the Smallest Details
The bodywork, finished in the sophisticated and deep Imperial Crimson, displays exceptional depth and an incredible gloss. The paintwork has been applied with the utmost precision — true craftsmanship of the highest level. The elegant lines, subtle curves, and iconic grille make it clear why this Aston Martin was considered one of the most prestigious British sports cars of its time.
Every detail is just right: the chrome accents gleam perfectly, the bumpers are immaculate, and the panel gaps and fitment are of a consistency that is only seen in exceptionally restored examples.

Stunning Interior with the Right Ambiance
The interior is equally impressive. The seats, upholstered in beautiful beige leather, have been redone using the finest materials and offer luxurious, comfortable seating. The dashboard and door panels exude style and authenticity, while the carpets and trim blend seamlessly with the rest of the interior.
The moment you step inside, you’re enveloped in the warm, sophisticated atmosphere of a classic British gentlemen’s club — rich leather, polished wood, and a timeless elegance that defines this remarkable Aston Martin.

Technically Superb
Beneath the hood lies a powerful inline-six engine that not only delivers impressive performance for its time but also runs incredibly smoothly and refined. Thanks to the outstanding restoration work, this Aston Martin offers a driving experience that is second to none: gear changes are effortless, the engine responds eagerly, and the car glides along the road with remarkable poise.

We are genuinely amazed by how well a car from 1955 can drive. With its sublime handling and well-balanced chassis, this is far more than just a car to admire — it’s a car to enjoy on long scenic drives or while cruising prestigious boulevards. The choice is yours.

History
The Aston Martin DB2/4 MK1 Drophead Coupe was ahead of its time. As the successor to the successful DB2, this model combined sporty performance with practical usability and comfort. The addition of a second row of seats and extra luggage space made this vehicle a true Grand Tourer — ideal for elegant travel in the company of others.
Only 102 examples of this rare Drophead Coupe were ever produced, making this an extraordinarily desirable collector’s item.

This Aston Martin is not only in absolute top condition but also offers a driving experience that will delight even the most discerning enthusiast. Whether you dream of participating in prestigious events such as Pebble Beach, Villa d’Este, or Goodwood, or simply want to enjoy an exclusive British classic, this DB2/4 MK1 Drophead Coupe offers it all.
This is a rare opportunity to own one of the most elegant and exclusive Aston Martins ever produced — in a condition that is truly unmatched.
