<p>Chassis n° LML 50/18<br />
<br />
The Aston Martin DB2 is a grand tourer with a fastback coupé body designed by Frank Feeley.  It was sold from May 1950 until April 1953, by which time 411 examples had been built.  As the successor to the 2-Litre Sports model, it featured a comparatively advanced 2,6-litre Lagonda straight-6 engine with dual overhead camshafts, replacing the previous overhead-valve straight-4 engine.  It was available as a closed, 2-seater coupé, which Aston Martin referred to as a sports saloon, and later also as a drophead coupé, the latter accounting for a quarter of the model's total sales.  This particular car - chassis n° LML 50/18 - was the first DB2 to be exported and the first to be sold in Belgium by Ets Mannès, then the newly appointed and sole official agent for the brand.<br />
