About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Represented as matching numbers and with over £300,000 in restoration work in 2020. Finished in its original colors. One of Just 309 DB2 coupes built. The high value restoration is 100 percent evident, and the car looks near concours-ready. The only imperfection evident is a hand made silicon rear quarter window seal. Otherwise it has a superb interior and great mechanicals.

Market commentary

The DB2 was the earliest Aston Martin developed under David Brown's ownership of the company as well as its first six-cylinder production model. It's both rare and usable on driving events in the UK, Europe and the U.S., but this car sold under its £150K low estimate and indeed for a surprisingly low amount given the quality and freshness of its restoration. It's not too big a stretch of the imagination to imagine that if this car was Italian, you could slap another zero onto the end of this price and nobody would bat an eye.
