1957 LHD Aston Martin DB MKIII Saloon AM300/3/1344

Description

A rare, left-hand drive example, in very smart and sound condition, unusually and very attractively finished in cream, with contrasting deep red leather and wire wheels - a colour scheme that works surprisingly well, suiting the car nicely in many ways. The paintwork is to a high standard and has a 'warm' feel to it, and the interior is lovely, with excellent red leather, fresh and, very well executed, very nice headlining, carpets, etc. The car started life in California, and perhaps because of this, is in appealingly sound condition. Running well, sounding glorious, and a good all-round specimen of a sought-after, characterful sporting saloon.

Chassis No. AM300/3/1344 Reg No. 870 XWB

Snippets: Radial Americans
The DB2/4 was first owned by H. Gregory Remko of California who within a year sold the car to Edward D. Turner of 1505 Viewsite Terrace in LA. Edward was an artist of seaside scenes & portraits as well as being chairman of his local ""Liberty Amendment Committee"". In the 1960s he was asked to design a striking cover for the Lloyd G Herbstreith / Gordon King publication ""Action of Americans"". This was full of plans to close several hundred government agencies, sell off facilities, and to abolish income, estate, and gift taxes. Radical.

About us:
The Real Car Company Ltd

The Real Car Company was established in 1987 by Ray Arnold & Ian Johnstone to specialise in the sale of early Rolls-Royce and Bentley. It was a hobby that 'Got out of hand'. Our interest in cars of the type that we now sell goes back to our childhoods, and ownership back to the 1970s.
Gradually more cars started passing through our hands, and by 1986 we had decided to make a full-time occupation of buying and selling the cars that we love.

We started with a single car (all we could afford) which we sold quickly, and before we knew it we had 4 or 5 on our hands! This was alongside another business (exhaust systems) that we were involved in at the time.
In the spring of 1988 we gave up the other business, rented part of the premises that we still operate from now, and went full time.

We started well in the boom years of the late eighties, which set us up well enough for us to ride the storm of recession in the years that followed. As the years went on the number of cars going through our hands increased gradually, we built up a workforce, and we now carry a stock of around 30 to 40 vehicles with nine of us here. Over the years we have gratefully received awards from the motoring press.

We are always interested in acquiring cars of the type that we sell so if you know of a Rolls-Royce or Bentley for sale, anywhere in the World, particularly an early model, please let us know.
