1955 Aston Martin DB2/4 for Sale in the United Kingdom

LML/886 left E.H. Organ & Sons in May 1955 and spent nine years with a Buckinghamshire owner, who took a class win at Banbury in 1957. Alan Archer then kept it at concours standard and added the 1964 Denman Trophy, and several plaques from those years remain with it. After a spell in the United States it returned to Europe in 2004. Specialists have since repainted it from bare metal in its original Moonbeam Grey and rebuilt the engine, and it still wears its first 1955 registration.

The DB2/4 arrived in 1953 with two occasional rear seats and the 2,922cc Vantage engine of about 140 bhp. Its bodies were built by Mulliners of Birmingham, whose cast-aluminium sills and bulkhead made it one of the stiffest and most corrosion-resistant post-war Aston Martins.

The car is located in Hook Norton, United Kingdom.

The Aston Martin DB2/4 uses the 2,922 cc Lagonda VB6J twin-cam straight-six, rated at 140 bhp (104 kW) and 241 Nm, with drive to the rear wheels.

FAQ

This Aston Martin DB2/4 in the European market

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

At £195,000, about €228,147, it sits above the median of €200,572 for the 154 Aston Martin advertised in Europe in 2026. 56% 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 United Kingdom and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Hook Norton, United Kingdom. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or 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.

Which other Aston Martin are priced closest to this one?

a 2024 car in Italy at €229,000, and a 2017 car in the Netherlands at €229,950. 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 DB2/4, and how does a purchase work?

Tom Hartley Jnr, a professional dealer in Hook Norton, United Kingdom. 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 DB2/4 be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Hook Norton, United Kingdom, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history: LUSSO does not publish these and cannot confirm them.

Is this Aston Martin DB2/4 still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Tom Hartley Jnr before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.

What is needed to register this car if it does not stay in the United Kingdom?

A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled. Temporary export plates and transport insurance are arranged either by the dealer or by the buyer. Requirements differ by country and should be confirmed with the selling dealer before payment.
