Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

LHD, 2580/125hp, 4-speed, wire wheels, Smiths gauges, wood dash, woodrim steering wheel.

Condition

Represented as one of 76 LHD DB2 Dropheads. Delivered new in California and shown at Pebble Beach in 1953. Little known subsequent history, then recently discovered in a Wisconsin garage and the Wisconsin dirt still covers the whole car. Missing exhaust and shift linkage, but the engine and frame appear to have little more than surface rust. The top frame is complete but there’s no top on it. Later seat covers look sound but need a cleaning. The carpets and door handles are gone. Some rust on the rockers that looks minor, but most of the body looks to be in reasonably solid shape. A barn find through and through. Whatever it sells for, it will probably take that amount and then some to get it back to its former glory, but it is worth saving if you ask us.
