1957 Aston Martin DB 2/4 MKIII Navigation
This Aston Martin DB2/4 is a MK II and was shipped to Cyril Williams Motors Limited in Staffordshire, England, on July 26th of 1957. It was finished in black over black leather, and is believed to have remained in England for some time. By 1955 it was owned by Malcolm Buckeridge of Pasadena, California. In 2008, the DB2/4 was discovered in the California desert by Done Rose. An advertisement by Buckeridge, dated May of 2008, stated that a restoration had been started but was selling, as he was unable to complete the bodywork. Don Rose was able to acquire the car, albeit stripped of paint, and had it sent to Aston martin restorers Kevin Kay—with explicit instruction to touch none of the patina.

A comprehensive mechanical restoration soon followed. Don rallied the DB2/4 for several years. While resting in a storage facility - along with over 30 other collector cars - the roof collapsed due to snow and ice. RM Auto Restoration stepped in to restore the vehicle, once again preserving the patina as possible.

The current owner saw the DB2/4 Mk II parked under a tree at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este after it had just completed the 2013 Mille Miglia. A deal was soon struck, and the DB2/4 was shipped back to the United States.
