1953 Aston Martin DB2/4 Mk I

I took his photograph at the Historic Sports Car Club's Spring Race Meeting at Oulton Park in May 1987.

It's a 1953 Aston Martin DB2/4 Mk I and has the 2,580cc version of the 6-cylinder inline Lagonda engine. The Aston Martin DB2/4 replaced the DB2 and was in production from 1953 to 1957, first with the 2,580cc version of the engine which was replaced by a larger 2,922cc engine in October 1954. This car is chassis LML/516 and it has since been repainted in the traditional Aston Martin metallic green colour.
