Chassis: AM300/1131
One of just four DB2/4 Mark IIs supplied to Italian coach-builders, chassis AM300/1131 was sent to Ghia. Here it received the striking 'Supersonic' style coachwork that was also fitted to Fiat and Jaguar chassis in the same period. The first owner of the unique Supersonic Aston Martin was French-born American racing driver Harry Schell. It was shown at the Turin Show in 1956 but had disappeared from view until it resurfaced at the 2011 Pebble Beach Concours following a complete restoration. Although the windshield snapped in transport, the one-off Aston won second in class. Amazingly the field also featured two Supersonic Fiats.
