Aston Martin DB2 in the shop

This is a clip of our DB2's current status. More videos to come showing how she used to look. Hopefully we'll see her on the track in Lime Rock in about a week. Below is a video of what the car first looked like when we first got it. Found in a barn in the UK this 1953 DB2 had not been on the road since 1968. We have shipped it to East Hampton NY where it is in the care of the Georgica Services team. We hope to have it in VSCCA competition by April. This video records the first sustained running of the engine in 40 years. We ran it up to 2500 RPM and oilpressure read 65-70 PSI. There were some oil seepage since we have yet to even look under the cam covers and replace those gaskets. Fascinating to see the new stainless steel exhaust manifolds heat up since we are running without coolant.

A really nice job from the guys from Georgica Services. Fantastic! When I watch the video I miss the shop and the cars. How about a Lazzarino video?
