1924 Aston Martin Side Valve 3-seater tourer
1924 Aston Martin Side Valve 3-seater tourer
One of the earliest Aston Martins with a superb and engaging history. Only four owners from new.
Bamford & Martin's chassis numbering for production cars began at '1916', making this side valve-engined chassis number '1941', one the oldest surviving production Aston-Martins and one of only a handful of cars remaining from before 1926. First delivered to the Midlands in 1924 and registered as MPG 503 for the first owner, RH Turner. Intriguingly for such a high-quality car, it was used as a tractor by the Home Guard during the Second World War before ending up in a scrap yard. Fortunately, it was rescued in 1945 by a Cambridge medical student who built a new body for it and used it for the next 16 years before it was once again found its way back to a scrap heap. In 1961, it caught the eye of the fourth and present owner, who rescued it and restored the car to its original condition. He re-registered it as DS 7621 and then used it as a daily driver for many years. Under his ownership, it competed with some success in concours and race events. It was also lent to numerous museums and special Aston Martin exhibitions leading to it featuring in multiple publications and becoming very well-known. Over the last sixty-four years, the current owner has kept a detailed and very large history file, including original log books and the invoice from his purchase of the car.
Complete and in running condition with attractive patina, this car would benefit from sympathetic improvements to ensure reliability and improve driveability. Once restored to top mechanical condition, it will make a superb and capable touring car. Equipped with four-wheel brakes and good luggage space (or third seat) this is perfect for shorter trips or a most comfortable and stylish conveyance to a pub or restaurant.
Manufactured by Robert Bamford and Lionel Martin, the first Aston-Martins established a reputation for high performance and sporting success with a series of prototype and racing cars in the years immediately following WWI. Bamford & Martins first Aston Martin cars used four-cylinder side valve engines capable of propelling every car to 60mph. In 1922 the side valve Aston-Martin enjoyed its finest hour when one set 25 light-car and 10 outright world speed records at Brooklands. The company's focus on motorsport for the pursuit of publicity delayed manufacture of vehicles for sale. This resulted in manufacture of approximately 60 cars when the company underwent its first change of ownership.
