A Very Special DB2/ 4 – Long-Term Ownership, Fully Restored & Competition History

This exceptional 1954 Aston Martin DB2/ 4, registration MDA 727, chassis number LML/ 624, powered by engine number VB6B/ 50/ 358. The DB2/ 4 represents one of the most significant developments in Aston Martin’s early post-war history, combining the sporting character of the DB2 with greater practicality, improved performance and the unmistakable styling that has made the marque so highly regarded amongst collectors. This particular example is an especially interesting and desirable car. It has enjoyed long-term ownership, has been totally restored, and importantly, possesses both competition and racing history, giving the car an additional level of provenance and character rarely found today.

Exceptional Restoration

LML/ 624 has been subject to a comprehensive restoration and has subsequently been carefully prepared and maintained to an exceptionally high standard. The result is a DB2/ 4 that presents beautifully while retaining the essential character and engineering integrity expected of a serious Aston Martin. Particular attention has been paid to the mechanical preparation of the car, making it not simply a concours-style restoration, but an Aston Martin that is capable of being enjoyed as intended. The combination of its restoration, mechanical preparation, history and long-term ownership makes MDA 727 an unusually compelling proposition for the serious Aston Martin enthusiast or collector.

Racing & Competition Heritage

Adding considerably to the appeal of LML/ 624 is its racing and competition history. The DB2/ 4 was developed at a time when Aston Martin was establishing an increasingly formidable reputation in international competition. Cars of this period were equally at home on the road or circuit, and the DB2/ 4’s combination of performance, handling and reliability made it a highly capable sporting GT. MDA 727 carries that same sporting character and its competition history provides an important connection with the period in which these cars established their reputation.

A Highly Collectable Aston Martin

Today, finding a DB2/ 4 with the right combination of provenance, long-term ownership, comprehensive restoration, competition history and exceptional preparation is becoming increasingly difficult. Many examples have been modified, neglected or restored without the level of attention required to create a truly outstanding car. LML/ 624 stands apart in this respect. It is a car that has been properly restored, properly prepared and properly enjoyed. For the collector looking for an outstanding early Aston Martin that can be used and appreciated rather than simply displayed, MDA 727 offers a particularly attractive opportunity.

We consider this to be one of the finest DB2/ 4s currently available on the market. Indeed, it would be difficult to find a better-prepared example combining such an impressive restoration with long-term ownership and genuine racing and competition history. MDA 727 is an Aston Martin that deserves serious consideration by anyone looking for an exceptional DB2/ 4.
