Aston Martin DB2/4 Mk1 – 1954 - Lot 95
Aston Martin DB2/4 Mk1 – 1954
French registration title
Sold without contrôle technique
Delivered new in November 1954 to a certain Albert Turrettini in Geneva, this Aston Martin DB2/4 MKI is one of just 196 Saloonbodied examples produced that year, out of a total production of 566 units across all body styles. Sold with an extensive file of invoices, including its original Instruction Book and factory record, it has retained its original 3-litre engine and still sports its black paintwork, enhanced by an elegant beige leather interior.
On January 20, 1961, the car was purchased by its second owner, a British engineer named William Ferguson, who was living in Geneva at the time. In 1968, it was sold to Jean-Marie Santal in Fernay-Voltaire, a small French town near the Swiss border. Seven years later, on December 13, 1975, the current owner acquired the car.
A full restoration was then undertaken, with the goal of presenting the car at the prestigious Summer Concours of the Aston Martin Owners Club. In 1977, it was awarded the Gordon Loveridge Trophy for best DB2/4!
Bodywork was carried out by Carrosserie Montat in Lyon and an invoice from October 1976 shows that all mechanical parts were ordered directly from Aston Martin. After thousands of kilometers of enjoyable driving, further major work was carried out between 2014 and 2019. The car was entrusted to the renowned Garage Éric Perou. Over €55,000 were invested during this phase, including a full mechanical overhaul, suspension work including new wheel bearings, new 72-spoke wheels, brake checks, and new tires, among other items.
Its handling on the road is a delight of precision and its 3.0l engine purrs like a dream. A sublime car in perfect condition
that we can only warmly recommend.
