This Aston Martin looks stunning in Old English White with a red leather interior, making it not only a collector’s dream but also a complete package of chic appearance, history, rarity, and an important model of the renowned Aston Martin brand.
A rich history
The first owner was the distinguished Lord Howard de Walden, a prominent figure known for his successes in horse racing. This Aston Martin thus carries a rich history.
Restored and overhauled
This Aston Martin has been meticulously maintained and underwent a significant cosmetic restoration in 2012 to ensure its beautiful appearance and performance. A major engine overhaul was completed in 2008, and since then, the car has only been used sparingly. This car is therefore in very good condition, both cosmetically and technically, evident in every detail, including the underside of the vehicle. This car comes with an extensive history, including the original chassis records, old MOT certificates, tax discs, and a buff continuation logbook, providing detailed insights into its provenance and maintenance history. The invoices are plentiful and provide an excellent overview. In short, there is no lack of history and documentation.
Historical Details
This Aston Martin features a 1495cc engine producing 70 hp, making it one of the most agile sports cars of its time. The MkII model, part of the esteemed Third Series designed under the direction of Augustus (Bert) Bertelli and later the Sutherland brothers, represents the pinnacle of pre-war Aston Martin engineering. The elegant four-seat touring cabriolet design, combined with meticulous restoration, ensures that this car retains its classic charm while offering a refined driving experience. The Old English White exterior paired with the red leather interior and claret carpet creates a stunning visual appeal that turns heads wherever it goes.
