Aston Martin DB1
The 2-Litre Sports car sold from 1948 to 1950. It was the first product of the company under new director, David Brown, and is retrospectively known as the DB1. The car debuted at the 1948 London Motor Show and
was based on the "Atom" prototype. Just 15 were sold. Along with the cycle-fender Spa car, Brown directed Aston to build a 2-seat roadster with a more conventional body for the London show. This 2-Litre Sports, as
the name suggested, used the 2.0 L Claude Hill engine. This 90 hp (67 kW) unit could propel the small, light vehicle to 93 mph (150 km/h).
