Overview about this 1955 Aston Martin DB2/4 for sale

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.

This car was supplied new on 2 May 1955 by the Aston Martin agent E.H. Organ & Sons to M.M. Johnson of Great Missenden, who kept it nine years and won his class at the 1957 AMOC Banbury Concours.

It later passed to Alan Archer, an AMOC registrar and chairman, who won his class and the Denman Trophy at the 1964 AMOC Fort Belvedere Concours and campaigned the car through the decade. Many of the period award plaques are still with it, along with a history report compiled by the marque authority Stephen Archer, who knew the car as a boy.

FAQ

This Aston Martin DB2/4 in the European market

How this car sits against the other Aston Martin DB2/4 advertised in Europe on 2026, and what to settle before a cross-border purchase.

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

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. See the listings

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.
