A brief history of the MKIII
The DB 2/4 Mark III (normally referred to as the DB Mark III or even simply MKIII) was an evolution of the DB2/4 Mark II model it replaced, using an evolution of that car's W.O. Bentley-designed Lagonda 2.9 L straight-6 engine, redesigned by Tadek Marek.
It was the first production Aston to use the new grill shape that would come to define the face of Aston Martin and is used as a signature to this day.
Other changes included a new instrument panel and the availability of Girling disc brakes.
The standard engine featured twin SU carburettors and produced 162 hp.
A total of 551 MKIIIs were built in just over two years of production.
