1954 Aston Martin DB2/4 Coupe (by Bertone)
The 1954 Aston Martin DB2/4 Coupe is a remarkable rarity in automotive history. This particular coupe, built on chassis number LML/765, was designed by Bertone’s Franco Scaglione and commissioned through Stanley H. “Wacky” Arnolt II. Distinguished by its dramatic creased flanks and pronounced wraparound rear window, this vehicle stands as the only coupe among the seven Aston Martins dressed by Bertone under Arnolt’s direction.
The car features English sporting heritage with Italian coachwork, making it a perfect example of what David Brown envisioned as a “gentleman’s express.” Originally displayed at both the 1957 and 1958 Turin Motor Shows, this elegant automobile combines lively performance with refined styling. Its numbers-matching drivetrain has been maintained through careful restorations, making this DB2/4 a significant piece of automotive design history.
