Vintage 1953 Aston Martin DB2 'From Le Mans to Runnymede' Print Advertisement
Approximately 6.5 x 10 inches.
This vintage 1953 Aston Martin DB2 original print ad captures the marque at the height of its Le Mans dominance, headlined boldly 'From Le Mans to Runnymede.' Three photographs showcase the curvaceous DB2 coupe in period English settings, while racing driver George Abbecassis demonstrates the car's real-world liveability. Copy extols its 100 mph capability, high-speed cruising, and masterly road holding — making this magazine advertisement a vivid document of the moment motorsport pedigree collided with luxury grand touring. A David Brown Company production, the DB2 was the direct ancestor of the DB5 immortalized by James Bond, lending this collectible ad enduring cultural weight among serious Aston Martin enthusiasts.
