| ASTON MARTIN DB2/ DB2/4 & DB MKIII (1950-1959) CAR HISTORYCar review on ASTON MARTIN DB2/ DB2/4 & DB MKIIITractor tycoon David Brown, who had bought Aston Martin in 1947, made something of a false start with the underpowered four-cylinder Aston Martin DB1 of 1948. He more than redeemed himself, however, with the DB2 of 1950, a car that set the pace for all subsequent Astons. Here was an upper-crust coupe with modern performance and old-world charm packing a smooth, powerful six- cylinder twin-cam 116 bhp engine from the Lagonda 2.6 saloon (Brown had bought Lagonda too, in 1947). "DB” had his sights held high: there would be no more four-cylinder Astons.
Underneath, the classic cruciform chassis, with its pre-war belt-and-braces rectangular section tubing, produced thoroughbred handling of the highest order. Coil sprung, the live rear axle was located by trailing links – with a Panhard rod for the high side-loads the car was capable of generating – and damped by Armstrong lever-arms. Front suspension was unusual, a trailing-link design with the main lower locating member running across the front of the car, its shaft turning in widely-spaced bearing with continuous oil-bath lubrication. It had big wire wheels: 15-in (38cm) centre-lockers shod with the best contemporary high-speed Dunlop crossplys.
