Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1952 Aston Martin DB2 Saloon, a rare model with only ~300 saloons produced, features a desirable Vantage-spec engine conversion from 1953 and has been family-owned since 1985. While it presents well in red with tan leather and has significant historical documentation, noted cosmetic flaws, aged tires, frame rust, and oil leaks indicate it requires some reconditioning.
Condition
6
The car has undergone repainting and interior re-trimming. While it features desirable upgrades like the Vantage engine specification and a side-exit exhaust, there are noted issues such as paint chips, missing finish, age-affected tires, rust on the frame, and engine/transmission oil leaks. The odometer reading is also not actual, indicating unknown total mileage. These factors suggest it's in 'Good' condition, requiring some reconditioning.
