1952 Aston Martin DB2 FastBack Coupe

This largely original DB2 was the design before the DB2/4 and was raced in Malaysia for decades before is was sold in the U.S.

This Aston Martin is powered by a 2,580 c.c. twin-overhead-cam 6-cylinder engine developing 107 horsepower. It has a 4-speed manual transmission and is capable of 0 to 60 mph in 12 seconds and a top speed of 112 mph.

This car has its original frame rails and the engine is the only part that has been restored.

This Aston Martin was originally delivered via Denver Imported Motors in Colorado and to its original (unknown) owner. It was delivered in Post Office Red over a red-piped black interior and was uprated to Vantage specification prior to delivery. The second owner was G.S. Toll, Esq. of Norwalk, California. It was eventually sold and made its way to Malaysia where it was converted to right-hand drive. In the early 2000s, it was acquired by an individual living in Kuala Lumpur, who subsequently treated the car to a comprehensive mechanical restoration which focused on a full engine rebuild. It later returned to the United States and into an East Coast collection. In 2016 and 2017, the suspension, brakes, rear axle, wiring looms, and numerous other details were overhauled.
