This fabulous 2 Litre Sports (known latterly as the DB1) is one of only 15 ever produced by Aston Martin. So rare that the car recently caused quite a stir and featured in the national press and ITV news.

“Barn Find Aston Martin DB1 for £100,000”
The Sunday Times Feb 28th 2013

“Rare Aston Martin sportscar found after 30 years”
The Scotsman Feb 28th 2013

“1949 Aston Martin DB1 found. Needs home and loving care.” Roadster Quarterly Feb 27th 2013

A 'continuation' log book from 1963 shows that the car was moved to Scotland that year and it remained there until Aston Workshop recently acquired it.

Amazingly, for the last 41 years it has been in the custody of just one owner and kept off the road since 1983, with a DVLA document in the history file to confirm this.

It is believed that there are only nine surviving examples of the DB1 of which this was the fourth to be built. As such this is a fantastic opportunity to own a fast appreciating part of Aston Martin history.

What is your job role at Aston Workshop?

Car Valet

Do you have an expert tip for our customers?

It doesn’t happen often, but I don’t like to see cars that seem unloved. It can be difficult to find the time I know, but every Aston deserves lots of TLC and the car will retain a higher value as a result, definitely worth it in the end.

What is your favourite Aston and why?

I like modern cars I love the new Vanquish S. It looks and sounds just as an Aston Martin should. However, the car that got me hooked onto the marque as a child was the DB5.
