1955 Aston Martin Db24 In Field It’s hard to imagine all the questions that were probably running through the head of the person who made this stellar find. What is this tattered and rusted car behind this bush? How did it get here? The answer to the first question is it’s an Aston Martin, a 1955 DB2/4 to be exact. And whether anyone will ever be able to explain how it got in this field we will never know. But we’re just glad someone discovered this Aston and decided to give it a chance to find a new home. If you’re interested in giving it a good home you can find it here at Gullwing Motors with an asking price of $79,500. 1955 Aston Martin Db24 Front Corner The DB2/4 was based on the DB2 that it replaced, but was intended to be more of a grand tourer than its predecessor. This car is rough, but considering it’s been sitting in a field for 30 years the body and undercarriage are in pretty good shape. 1955 Aston Martin Db24 Side The DB2/4 came in several configurations, which included a Drophead coupe, a saloon, and a handful of convertibles. This one is the more common 2+2 saloon, but is still a very handsome car. This car is going to take a lot of getting the body straight, but from what we can tell it doesn’t appear to have any major body damage. 1955 Aston Martin Db24 Interior The interior is very rough, but the floors look to be intact and the gauges are all still there. You can see the back seats are folded down in this picture. This car would make an amazing tour car after a detailed restoration. 1955 Aston Martin Db24 Engine We did a little investigative work and discovered that this car has the 2.9 liter Lagonda engine in it, that is if it is original. The seller says its matching numbers and we are inclined to believe them. The 2.9 liter VB6/J engine produced 140 hp and allowed for a top speed of 120 mph. This car is going to be a significant project, that’s going to cost. Considering the current value of these cars, do you think it could be restored without going upside down?
