Introduced in the year 1934 and built until 1935, the replacement Aston Martin Mark II model came on the market with a more sportive and stronger chassis and a revised engine with counter-balanced crankshaft. Short and long wheelbase versions were built.
This lovely example here is a highly desirable very original short chassis version MK II from 1934 with original UK registration
number BLU 417.
This car presents itself technical in very good state and condition and runs and shifts smooth, drives powerful and is wonderful to handle. A real driving pleasure for pre-war lovers and for those who want to become one.
This Aston Martin has a charming patina and shows certain signs of usage. As the French say the car remains “dans son jus”. It shows slightly signs of age, actually as a real pre-war car of this age has to be!

Car is equipped with a hood, its side screens and tonneau, making it well-prepared for touring in any weather conditions.
This car is well known to the Aston Martin Owners Club and the Aston Martin Heritage Trust. It has a history with the AMOC going back to nearly 40 years.
