Restoring an Aston Martin is akin to creating a fine wine; it takes time, skill, and patience.
If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then watching a wrecked Aston Martin restored to her former glory is a thing of true beauty.
Since 2010Complex Auto has renovated many previously abandoned Aston Martins and saved them from being broken up.This is still a core activity to this day, and we pride ourselves on being able to offer this service to a high standard of finish at a price that is extremely good value for money compared with many.
This is where the pictures tell the story; if they are anything to go by, this is an exceptionally well-restored Aston Martin automobile. Each nut and bolt, as does the paint and wood-and-leather interior, look perfect. This car likely cost more than $150,000 to restore to this level and could have cost more than $200k. You could not buy a driver-level DB 2/4 and restore it to this level for the asking price of this example.
The Aston Martin DB 2/4 superseded the DB2 and featured 2+2 seating, a slightly higher roofline and one of the earliest examples of a hatchback. The car is powered by the W.O. Bentley-derived Lagonda 2,580 cc, 6-cylinder, twin-cam engine that produces 125 horsepower, which made for a 0-60 mph time of 10.8 seconds and a top speed of 125 mph.
These were low-production cars, with only 764 built from 1953 to 1957. They are eligible for any high-level event, including concours, vintage tours and vintage racesworldwide. This Aston Martin 2/4 could be used for anything you might want to do with a classic grand touring car.
Behind the wheel, the DB2/4 is not as refined as the DB4 that came after, but it is at least as sophisticated as a Ferrari or Maserati from the same era. Some people say they are truck-like to drive, but the reality is that every big GT from the era is like a truck, especially compared with the 1960s.
