caption_attribution_description: English: 1959 Aston Martin DB 2/4 Mark III Drophead Coupé at the 2013 Greenwich Concours d'Elegance. 84 of these were built.
context_page_description: The DB 2/4 Mark III is a sports car sold by Aston Martin from 1957 until 1959. It was an evolution of the DB2/4 Mark II model it replaced, using an evolution of that car's W.O. Bentley-designed 2.9 L Lagonda straight-6 engine, redesigned by Tadek Marek.
context_section_description: Along with the hatchback, two two-seater coupé variants of the Mark III were also produced. A "drophead coupé" convertible, while not common, still considerably outnumbers the "fixed head coupé" – 84 of the former were produced, while just five of the latter were built. All five Fixed Head Coupés were built close to the end of Mark III production and feature the mid-spec DBD engine. Both of these bodystyles feature conventional hinged boot lids rather than the innovative hatch back.
