Bought out by the David Brown Tractor's owner, the first production car was the DB2

Aston Martin DB2/4. Launched in 1953, the DB2/4 almost created the concept of 2+2 sports cars AND the sports hatch.

Aston Martin DB2/4. Frank Feeley from David Brown's Lagonda company designed the DB2 in 1950, and 1953 the DB2/4 was launched. The taller coupe body was supposed to make car useable by four people, and the rear hatch was a new idea for accessing the boot.

Aston Martin DB2/4 MkII FHC. In 1955 when the MkII version of the DB2/4 was launched the option of a Fixed Head Coupe was given, and only 34 examples were built from 1955 to 1957

Aston Martin DB2/4 MkII FHC. Sometimes called a -notchback- the Fixed Head Coupe was option for the DB2/4 MkII from 1955 to 1957. The body was built by Tickford, which had been purchased by David Brown.
