The Aston Martin DB2 Sports Car


The Aston Martin DB2 sports auto was dispatched in 1950 at the New York Motor Show, as the characteristic successor to the DB1 Two Liter Sports, and valued at £1,914. It was offered as a two entryway, two seater altered head roadster and, later that year, as a drop head car Early DB2's had a three-piece chrome plated front grille with huge cooling vents in the front wings, yet later models had an one-piece grille, and no vents. The hood was pivoted at the front, the extra wheel was situated at the back, and there was space for gear behind the front seats The initial few DB2's utilized a tubular steel suspension from the DB1 that had been both abbreviated and reinforced, together with a six chamber, 2.3 liter Lagonda motor, and four wheel curl spring suspension, free at the front When creation finished in 1953, 411 DB2's had been constructed, containing 339 of the roadster and 102 drop heads. In the DB2, the 2 liter, straight four motor of the DB1 was supplanted by the all the more effective Lagonda 2.6 liter, straight six, DOHC motor, accessible as an aftereffect of David Brown securing both Aston Martin and Lagonda in 1947
At the point when fitted with a four velocity manual gearbox, a pressure of 6.5:1, and two SU carburettors, it built up 105 bhp at 5000 rpm, and 125 ft/lbs of torque at 3100 rpm.
