The DB2/4 is the ultimate expression of the 1950s Aston Martin road car, and many consider the Mk III the best variant. Continuous improvement meant the 2.6-litre straight six-cylinder engine offered 125 bhp matched to an overdrive four-speed gearbox, and disc brakes were also fitted. Among its owners was a friend of Ian Fleming who was so impressed that he featured the Mk III in the Bond book Goldfinger.
Chassis no. AM300/3/1364 was ordered new for the U.S. market as a left-hand drive in 1957. In 1972 it was in the heart of Hollywood, kept by Michelle Zukovsky. The warm climate preserved the body, which was finished in metallic blue with fawn leather. By the time the current owner purchased it in 2007, it was in need of a complete restoration, which was carried out until 2010 in the Czech Republic.
No evidence of accident damage was found, so most of the original panels were able to be preserved along with many interior features. The car was fitted with a new Lucas wiring loom and painted metallic grey, complemented by a cream Connolly leather interior. This stunning Mk III is eligible for the Mille Miglia or can be enjoyed as an elegant grand tourer.
