Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This is a one-off 1953 Aston Martin 'Sigma' Sports, built by Paul Jackman using a modified BMW 320 chassis and Aston Martin DB1 components. It features a unique design, known ownership history, and has undergone cosmetic and mechanical restoration.
Condition
6
The car received a cosmetic restoration in 1991 and a mechanical restoration in 2014/2015. It has covered only 6,000 miles since the engine rebuild. While it's described as being driven hard and predictable, the age of the restoration and the fact that it's a unique, hand-built vehicle suggests it's in good but not perfect condition.

Paul Jackman was Head of Design and Development at Aston Martin in Feltham when it was taken over by David Brown after WW2.
He designed and built this car as a one-off and wrote about the project in 1960 (copy article on file).
The engine, gearbox, and instruments were Aston Martin, while the chassis (including the front suspension and steering) was adapted from a pre-war BMW 320 saloon and the rear axle came from a Triumph Gloria.
The Gloria axle had 12" brakes, and DB1 stoppers of similar size and equipped with Alfin drums were fitted at the front.
