The first Aston Martin to carry David Brown's initials in its name, launched in 1950. It paired a sleek fastback body with the twin-cam straight six that Brown had acquired by buying Lagonda, an engine designed under W.O. Bentley. Class wins at Le Mans followed, and the DB2/4 added small rear seats and an opening tailgate.
