1939 Aston Martin 15/98 Sport Chassis Open Sports-Mint Cond

It is a very attractive "pre-war" car, very agile with 98 bhp, 1, 949 cc inline four-cylinder engine with overhead camshaft, twin SU carburetors, Moss four-speed synchromesh manual transmission, live front and rear axles, and four-wheel mechanical Girling drum brakes. Wheelbase: 102 in.

With excess capacity at the factory, a short-chassis version of the 15/ 98 was introduced with its most appealing shape to date, the Open Sports, which was bodied by Abbey Coachworks, of Willesden, London. One delightful feature of sport models such as this Abbey example is that the wind wings are removable, and with the windscreen flat forward, they slide into perches above the dash to act as aeroscreens, adding further panache to the attractive silhouette. After its debut at the inaugural Earl's Court Motor Show in 1937, some 50 were built in this stylish form, out of the approximately 171 Two Litre cars produced in total by Aston Martin during the pre-war era. The result provided sporty, open motoring without the racing pretentions.
