Bring in the New Year Aston Martin style
     
 

We proudly present a truly stunning one-off Aston Martin DB2/4 Vignale - 1954.

The car was built for King Baudouin of Belgium and he was around 25 years old when he ordered the hand-built one-off Aston from renowned Italian coachbuilders, Vignale.

King Baudouin’s mother-in-law Lilian, Princess of Rethy had taken possession of a Vignale bodied Ferrari, and word has it that this unique DB2/4 was commissioned especially so that the king was not upstaged!

This week saw Aston Art launch a series of new high quality limited edition 'art prints' including a collection of monochromatic prints from commercial car and automotive photographer Tim Wallace.

'AstonArt' was born from a project to capture the essence of Aston Martin in a modern, contemporary photographic style through the eyes of Tim, and over the last 4 years has gone from strength to strength with over 80 pieces of art work now being available through the dedicated website.

The 'Art' prints are sold all over the world to private individuals for their collections as well as businesses for display in boardrooms and reception areas.

The current Aston Art Portfolio features classic models from the earliest Pre-War cars through to the famous DB4, DB5 and DB6 and onto the modern super-car era DBS, V8 Vantage, and One-77.

Manufactured in 1994 and commissioned to form part of an extensive collection belonging to a very well known Southeast Asian royal family member, this is an absolutely breathtaking example of the 6.3 litre wide-bodied Virage Volante and definitely an opportunity not to be missed.
