Subject: Re: DB 3L engine and trans
Thank you for your reply.

The 3.0 production actually started much earlier with a batch of 16 cars from chassis LAG/50/461. These are known as "Brooklands" 2.6/3.0 litre cars. All were originally fitted with the 2.6 litre engine, and when the 3.0 litre became available in 1954, many had their engines changed by the works.

These cars derive from 16 chassis's that Brooklands purchased from AML and had Tickford make and fitted the new bodies on them

See the following web-site for ample details on these cars, and a set of pages devoted to the 3.0 litre cars:

The first Mk1 cars start at chassis LAG/50/532, which still exists

The Aston Service details are incorrect.

So your car is a Mk1 Sports Saloon or Coupe. These are rare and have a very nice shape and look and are also highly desirable.

A super red Coupe is shown :

this should give you idea of what they can look like.

The club database will be updated with these details.

Thank you for the reply.
