A DB2 Story

We have recently made a new friend in Godfrey Schiele who is a local Aston Martin owner.

His 1953 Aston Martin DB2/4 will soon be coming into the Bridge Classic Cars workshop for an assessment to see what work will need to be completed to recommission the car in the future.

We already have a 1955 Aston Martin DB2/4 in the workshop which is undergoing a full restoration, so we know how beautiful these cars can be. The one currently owned by Godfrey though has an interesting story behind it.

When Godfrey purchased his DB2/4 from Stradbroke, it had around 70,000 miles on the clock and he has owned it ever since, meaning this incredible classic has only ever had 2 owners from new.

In 1979, work commitments meant that Godfrey had to spend some time in France. As a result, his DB2/4 was put away and has stayed there pretty much ever since. Godfrey was kind enough to send us some photos of his car and we are very much looking forward to seeing it in person in the near future.
