AI Listing Summary
This 1954 Aston Martin DB2/4 is an early example presented in good overall order with straight bodywork and a well-preserved interior. Having been in long-term enthusiast ownership since 2007, it comes with a substantial history file, but has been in storage for 15 years, requiring recommissioning.

The car is described as a well-running and complete example in good overall order, with pleasingly straight bodywork, smart wire wheels and brightwork, and well-preserved walnut interior fittings. However, it has been in storage for approximately 15 years with limited use, indicating it will benefit from some attention before regular use. While the coachwork was refinished and the interior retrimmed, and mechanical maintenance has been undertaken, the 15 years in storage suggest it requires more than just minor reconditioning, aligning with a 'Good' condition rating.
