IN 1947, ASTON MARTIN WAS PURCHASED BY SIR DAVID BROWN WHO BECAME INSTRUMENTAL IN THE
INTRODUCTION OF AN ENTIRELY NEW SERIES OF CARS BEARING THE PREFIX "DB", HERALDING
PERHAPS THE MOST FAMOUS ERA IN THE ILLUSTRIOUS HISTORY OF THE ASTON MARTIN.

THIS CUSTOM 1959 ASTON MARTIN DB MARK III REPRESENTS A RARE AND OUTSTANDING OPPORTUNITY TO
ACQUIRE ONE OF THESE TREASURED BRITISH CLASSICS. IT'S A CAR WHICH CAN HOLD UP IT'S HEAD EQUALLY IN
EITHER ROAD RACING (FIRST PLACE IN CLASS 1959 MONTE CARLO RALLY) OR CONCOURS D'ELEGANCE.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS DB MARK III IS IN AMAZING CONDITION. ONLY 68,751 MILES ON ODOMETER. KEEP IN MIND THESE CARS WERE HAND-BUILT. SPOT & ARC-WELDED STEEL STRUCTURES WERE CLAD IN ALUMINUM BODIES THEN ATTACHED
TO THE FRAME. MOST OF THE ALUMINUM PANELS WERE PRODUCED AS SHOWN IN THIS ASTON MARTIN RESTORATION.

 NOW THIS IS WHERE THE ADDITIONAL FUN FACTOR BEGINS. THE FRONT SUSPENSION HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY
MODIFIED TO INCLUDE A SINGLE "A" ARM SUSPENSION WITH STRUTS PLUS RACK AND PINION STEERING. THE
ORIGINAL FRONT SUSPENSION COMPONENTS ARE INCLUDED ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL WHEELS.
