old photo

[zeb]

I recently bought an old photo from popular auction site featuring a DB2/4.

Despite some furious googling I can find very little about the history. The registration is 1150H and I wondered if it still exists or what year that registration actually is?

any help gratefully recieved.

Classic and Sports Car have a "where are they now" type feature every month, readers send in old photos of their old cars and others are invited to offer any relevant info. they might have. Could be worth a try.

A DVLA check does not show any Aston Martin.

A check on the registration number, appears to show that it is no longer allocated to any vehicle.

It looks therefore that you will have to research the past. A post on the appropriate section of the AMOC website, might be worthwhile.

Its chassis number was LML/508, a works prototype and development car with a development project engine, crashed in Italy in 1961 and reportedly rebuilt. It had some good UK competition history before then, but may not have been heard of by AMOC since 1962.

However a quick google shows a nearly similarly numbered car was at RM auctions in London in October 2009, a 1950 Le Mans team car in condition 3- but this was LML/50/8, a different car and sold for £550K. Aston Registrar, where are you??
