Aston Martin DB2 (1953) for Sale in NY

This 1953 Aston Martin DB2 Vantage Saloon is a rare and elegant example of early David Brown-era craftsmanship, finished in red over beige leather. Originally built with a 2,580cc Vantage VB6B inline-six engine paired with a David Brown four-speed manual transmission, it features twin SU carburetors, four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes, and chromed 16-inch wire wheels. The car’s classic styling includes a forward-hinged hood section, a sloping roofline, a single-piece grille, Lucas tri-bar headlights, driving lights, and reverse lamps, with a sleek, fixed-roof aluminum body that epitomizes the timeless DB2 silhouette. Inside, the cabin offers two-place seating trimmed in beige leather, with matching door panels, dashboard, and rear shelf cushion, complemented by color-keyed carpeting, door pockets, and dual dash cubbies. The Lecarra riveted-wood-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of Smiths instrumentation, including a 140-mph speedometer, reverse-sweep tachometer, combination gauges, and an inset clock, while the odometer shows minimal mileage. The Vantage engine delivers smooth and responsive performance with dual-overhead cams, hemispherical combustion chambers, and a classic twin SU carburetor setup. Independent front suspension and a solid rear axle with coil springs and lever-arm shocks provide balanced handling, while the rear axle rods and key suspension components have been carefully refreshed to maintain driving confidence.
