| This 1957 Aston Martin DB Mark III Left-Hand Drive is a matching numbers example and one of just 551 produced. An ideal candidate for a complete restoration and accompanied by numerous parts. Red with black interior. An extremely desirable and collectible Mk III in factory left-hand drive form. The perfect car to restore. Two years after the introduction of the DB2/4 MkII came the DB MkIII - the '2/4' suffix being dropped - 551 of which were made between March 1957 and July 1959. Externally the most obvious change was the adoption of a DB3S-style grille, establishing the 'hallmark' look of subsequent Aston Martins, which had been drawn up by Tickford designer, Bert Thickpenny. This restyled nose gives the car a more imposing look, while the interior boasted a redesigned dashboard with instruments grouped in a cowled panel ahead of the driver. The 3.0-liter engine had benefited from an extensive redesign by Tadek Marek (newly arrived from Austin) and featured, among other improvements, a stiffer block, stronger crankshaft, and a new cylinder head with bigger valves. 162bhp was available with the single-pipe exhaust system, 178bhp with the optional twin-pipe version. The MkIII was faster than any of its predecessors with a top speed of 120mph.
