1950 Aston Martin DB2 Navigation
The initial run of fifty Aston Martin DB2s with the distinctive three-piece grille were called 'First Sanction' cars and are distinguished by their side extractor grilles, twin fuel fillers and flush-mounted windows. In 1950, Aston Martin DB2s finished in 5th and 6th place at Le Mans which prompted a great many orders for similar cars from all over the world.
This example was shipped to Australia in 1950 for its first owner, Tony Luxton of Victoria. With competition in mind, the car was fitted with 'Alfin' brake drums by the factory as well as a close-ratio floor-mounted gear change. Luxton used the car in several combinations, notably at Albert Park in the Argus Cup and the Rob-Roy hill climb. The car is finished in its original Aston Martin California Sage.
