The 1959 Aston Martin DB Mk III represents the pinnacle of the DB2 series. This original left-hand-drive example, chassis AM300/3/1643, is among the last DB Mk Ills delivered to the US. Completed in 1958, it was first sold through Auto Engineering of Lexington, Massachusetts on November 4, 1959 to Dr. William. M. Crowell of Belmont, Massachusetts. By the early 1970s, the car was owned and enjoyed by John William Colbert of Fairfax, Virginia. In 1981, Ron Taylor of San Diego, California acquired the car, preserving it in dry storage for two decades, before the car was purchased by Kirk Schreffler in 2001.

Between 2011 and 2014, the car underwent a meticulous restoration by Mr. Schreffler’s own Euro Sport in San Diego. The original matching-numbers, 2.9-litre, six-cylinder engine was rebuilt at that time, and a Tremec five-speed gearbox was fitted. The original matching-numbers four-speed unit is included with the sale. The car was also resprayed in its stunning, period-correct Moonbeam Grey Metallic and reupholstered in maroon leather.

Accompanying the car is its jack, tool kit, miscellaneous books, and British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate confirming chassis, engine, and gearbox stampings. Additionally, an extensive history file includes receipts of more than $80,000 in service work completed since being purchased by the current owner in 2015. Showcased in 2014 at The Quail, this exquisite DB Mk III has been expertly restored and is sure to impress.
