In this page, we'll try to gather some
information about the 2 Litre Sports
soon renamed DB1 after DB2
production... TO BE HONEST, THIS IS MORE A
PICTORIAL REVIEW THAN A REGISTER !
As I wrote in the Washboard Register
page,
David Brown bought the Aston Martin works and produced the 2 litre
Sports from the Atom prototype. Claude Hill was chief manager and told
in The Power Behind Aston
Martin book: "The DB1 was
entirely my car. I was, and still am, intensely pround of it, although
there were several design features which I would not have know, such as
the long wheelbase - nine feet [roughly
2,75m] - and the narrow track. But the idea was to make a
luxurious, quiet sports car, and I think we succeeded".
