Having been beautifully and painstakingly restored by renowned German specialist Thomas Weber, this Aston Martin DB2/4 is now being offered for sale in exceptional condition. Chassis number LML/853 was sold new via Berkeley Motors in Bristol and its guarantee was issued on 24 November 1954. Its first owner was AHL Eccles, who lived in South Wales – its registration number of LCY 434 was issued in Swansea. Its continuation logbook shows that it was owned by a Mr Baxter in 1973, and by 1982 it was owned by F Somer in London. The Aston Martin was then acquired by Thomas Weber in 2012, and he embarked on a thorough restoration that was carried out to the very highest standard. The DB2/4 was completely stripped down, with the body being removed from the chassis. Both of them were sandblasted back to bare metal, the bulkhead was renewed, and sections of metalwork that were replaced included the rear wheelarches, door skins, floors and sills. The original six-cylinder engine was rebuilt using forged con-rods and pistons, plus new cylinder liners, and a new aluminium cylinder head was fitted. The gearbox was rebuilt using new bearings, seals and – where necessary – synchroniser rings, and the rear axle was also rebuilt. The brake and fuel systems were both overhauled, a new wiring harness was fitted, all of the original brightwork was rechromed, and the interior was retrimmed. The DB2/4 is now presented in its original colour scheme of black with green interior, and the extremely high quality of the restoration is apparent wherever you look. Now being offered for sale with a full photographic record of its rebuild, this Aston Martin DB2/4 is truly stunning example of this handsome and versatile 1950s British sports car.
