Well I finally got from the official Aston Martin Website.
Must say though, close by somebody owns the last Virage. It's a stunningly beautiful car, even there wasn't a market between the DB9 and DBS.
Dilapidated DB2 set to sell at UK auction
Leave a car to rust away in the garage and, chances are, it’ll be good for little but scrap and sentiment. Not so with an early Aston Martin.
Take this DB2 from 1951: it’ll need a total overhaul before it’s roadworthy, and yet it’s still expected to fetch upwards of £40,000 (US$54,000) when it goes to auction with Bonhams on 2 June.
Aston Martin launched the DB2 at the New York Motor show in 1950, off the back of a successful showing for the pre-production model at the Le Mans 24 Hours.
The renowned British marque, now under David Brown’s control, would go on to build a total of 411 of the two-seat sports car before production ceased three years later.
Looks doomed to me,but what do I know ?
For would-be James Bonds, owning an Aston Martin has long been the easiest way to imitate the world’s most famous spy. This July, though, one lucky bidder will be able to go one better and buy Bond’s actual DB5.
Yes, come 13 July, the very model used by Pierce Brosnan in 1995’s Goldeneye will be going up for auction at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Fancy yourself as an international bidder of mystery? You'll need to be a rich one too, because it's expected to make at least £1.2m.
Great postcard photo of the DB2 there next to a TWA jet....simple days.
You could also conclude the car runs on kerosine or avgas, meaning you need to refuel at airports rather then petrol stations...
I am sure someone will purchase it and bring the ole girl back to her best!

I found this :
Yes, it's an Aston Martin :
Probagbly what Bond was driven in during his baby years.
Legendary 1964 Aston Martin driven by Sean Connery in Goldfinger 'is found in the Middle East' more than 20 years after it was stolen - and could now be worth up to £10million
Legendary Aston Martin driven by James Bond in Goldfinger could have been found more than twenty years after it was stolen from a Florida airport.
The 1964 DB5 - which was equipped with machine guns and tyre-bursting blades for Sean Connery's 007 - could have been found in the Middle East, according to a tip given to investigators.
It was stolen in 1997 while its owner, who bought it in 1986 for $250,000, had it in an airport hangar in Boca Raton.
Now Art Recovery International, which was hired by an insurance company to find the DB5, could be on the verge of retrieving the car, The Sunday Telegraph reports.
Christopher Marinello, Art Recovery's chief executive, said: 'I have been given a specific tip, but we are working on it.
'We want to reach out to [the] collector car community and [a] vast array of mechanics to let them know we are very serious about recovering it.'
It is not known where specifically in the Middle East the car is believed to be stored.
A six-figure cash reward is being offered for information that leads to its safe return.
Marinello added: 'As there are many Aston Martins, it is very important that we get a shot of the chassis number, dp/216/1. This is what we are looking for, as it is very specific to the vehicle.'
He said this is necessary because the car in the Middle East could be a 'mere lookalike' rather than the real thing.
It is estimated that the car - known as the 'most famous in the world' after the Bond classic hit cinemas in 1964 - could now be worth as much as £10 million.

Not my favourite footballer, but you can't argue his taste in vehicles!
A good racket, or a “something has gone wrong” racket?
