Aston Martin Db 2/3 1952 (reg Parnell)

Aston Martin DB3 1951 (Reg Parnell)

It was the Aston Martin DB2 that was the first real David Brown Aston, despite the fact the DB1 also beared his name. Brown, who'd made his fortune in transmissions and farm tractors, decided to have "a bit of fun" in 1947 by acquiring the financially ailing Aston Martin and Lagonda motor companies.

This is a hand drawn picture of the very historic ex-works team car has a magnificent period race history d. ..1952 - BRDC Silverstone - driver Lance Macklin - 4th overall. 1952 - GP de Monaco - driver Lance Macklin - retired (mechanical). 1952 - Le Mans - driver Lance Macklin/Peter Collins - retired whilst 4th overall after 20 hrs. 1952 - Jersey Road Race - driver Reg Parnell - 4th overall. 1952 - WECC Boreham - driver Reg Parnell - 3rd overall. 1952 - Goodwood 9 Hours - Peter Collins/Pat Griffith - lst overall. 1953 - Sebring 12 Hours - Reg Parnell/George Abecassis - 2nd overall. 1953 - Mille Miglia - George Abecassis/Pat Griffith - retired in Florence (steering).  It is a large A3, quality print 42cm x 29.7cm of the Aston Martin works racing driver Reg Parnell cornering at speed...

This is an A3 print of the detailed pencil drawing of this classic machine...and would look fabulous on the office wall or at home if you're allowed to put it there! I have limited the amount of prints that I am selling to 50 and there are not many left now! The original drawing is available at a reasonable cost; email me for details..Or I can do a bespoke drawing of you own machine if you'd prefer...it costs less than you'd think!!
