1952 Aston Martin DB2 Sports Saloon for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1952 Aston Martin DB2 Sports Saloon is a used car showing 54,000 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Black with a Tan interior.

A left-hand-drive DB2 delivered new in the Netherlands, through The Hague, is rare in itself, and this one left the works with unusual options: a sunroof, which experts consider factory work, a larger rear window and three SU carburettors where two were normal. It later went to the United States and spent long periods in showrooms.

In 1967 an owner shipped it to Britain, where it won its class at a concours d'elegance; back in America it kept collecting awards. A thorough restoration in the 1970s was followed in 2009 by an overhaul of the original engine, confirmed by the Heritage Certificate. The file holds that certificate, the build sheet, black-and-white photographs, manuals and invoices.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The Aston Martin DB2 uses the 2,580 cc Lagonda twin-overhead-camshaft straight-six designed under W. O. Bentley, with two SU carburettors, rated at about 105 hp (78 kW), or 125 hp with the Vantage option, and 187 km/h in The Motor's 1950 test, with a manual gearbox driving the rear wheels.

FAQ

This Aston Martin DB2 in the European market

Is this Aston Martin priced above or below the European market?

At €225,000, it sits above the median of €194,703 for the 194 Aston Martin advertised in Europe in 2026. 59% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

Can this Aston Martin be bought in the Netherlands and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands. The dealer quotes it as: VAT included and not reclaimable: sold under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How much did this Aston Martin DB2 cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €2,233 in the United Kingdom, excluding options. This car is advertised at €225,000, 9976% above that figure. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today. That 1950 list price is converted to euros with no adjustment for inflation.

How does the mileage of this Aston Martin compare?

54,000 km recorded, against a median of 7,429 km across the Aston Martin advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Which other Aston Martin are priced closest to this one?

a car in Germany at €226,622, and a 2024 car in Italy at €222,000. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.

Who is selling this Aston Martin DB2, and how does a purchase work?

Gallery Aaldering, a professional dealer in Brummen, Netherlands. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Aston Martin DB2 be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Brummen, Netherlands, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer.

Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.
