This was the same unit developed for the 1936 Le Mans team cars, but converted to wet-sump lubrication.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the roadsters were bodied by Abbey Coachworks in London while the sedans and coupes were handled by E.

This is noted in the Aston Martin Owner\u2019s Club listings for 1992. Following WWII, the car lead a secluded life in the possession of Ernest Stanley Rippley of Curzon, St. London, who purchased the car in February 1955. Ten years later he sold the car to Stanley Macer of Manea, Cambridgeshire. It was purchased by the Sharpe Family in 1978 and remained hidden until being purchased by its present owner in 2005. It was then subjected to a complete, ground-up restoration from 2006-2010. Both computer documented records and a photograph of the current owner purchasing the car from the Sharpe Family Collection are available for inspection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><b>Auction Source: <\/b><a class=\"copy-paste-block\" href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/gallery\/119513\/2746\/1.html\">2011 London Auction by RM<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/1937-aston-martin-1598\/998574-3\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-256301\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-256301 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/9985741.jpg\" alt=\"1937 Aston Martin 15\/98\" width=\"\" height=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/Pics?viewCarPic=y&amp;source=carGal&amp;carID=5359&amp;pgID=1&amp;pID=998574\">1937 Aston Martin 15\/98 Roadster J7\/823\/SO<\/a> &#8211;<\/b><\/p>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">This example, J7\/823\/SO, was built and registered in 1937 but delivered in 1938.

However, the current owner has researched the car\u2019s earlier history through Rob Davis of Elwell Smith &amp; Co. The first owner was Mr. P.B. Mayne, followed by RAF Pilot Officer G.F. Sleight. On 25th March 1945, A.C.H. Walker acquired the car, followed that September by A.R. Prestige and then Reginald Grey on 3rd June 1949, who then sold the car to Mr. Cossins in 1951.<\/div>\n<p><b>Auction Source: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/gallery\/119513\/2665\/1.html\">2011 Salon Priv\u00e9 Auction by RM<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/1937-aston-martin-1598\/935678-3\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-256307\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-256307 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/9356781.jpg\" alt=\"1937 Aston Martin 15\/98\" width=\"\" height=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/Pics?viewCarPic=y&amp;source=carGal&amp;carID=5359&amp;pgID=1&amp;pID=935678\">,1937 Aston Martin 2 litre 15\/98 Speed Model Four Seat Tourer H8\/791\/LT<\/a> &#8211; <\/b><\/p>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\n<div id=\"galleryimagecaption\">\n<p>The Aston Martin Heritage Trust through Piers Loxton-Edwards have kindly provided copies of the early factory records for this car which confirm it to have been fitted with the Standard Touring bodywork that it still wears today and this was finished in black and trimmed in green upholstery. Their ownership records state it to have been sold to G.E. Layte &amp; Co. Ltd. and then through Masons Garage on London&#8217;s Maddox Street, W1. A new owner, Mrs McDougall of Ashford in Kent was noted on April 3rd 1939, though no further notes of ownership are listed. The car was serviced by the works up to the war and from 1946 through to 1954, suggesting that it remained with Mrs. McDougall throughout this time. On file is an old green log book confirming that the previous owner of the Aston purchased it in the early 1960s, whether this was from Mrs. McDougall is not known. The present Aston Martin Enthusiast owner acquired the car in 2008 thinking it would be a perfect foil to his post-war cars, but on reflection has decided not to pursue the restoration and so offers it now for sale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><b>Auction Source: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/gallery\/119513\/2433\/1.html\">2010 Greenwich Collectors&#8217; Motorcars and Automobilia Auction by Bonhams<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1937 Aston Martin 15\/98 The 15\/98 was Aston Martin&#8217;s standard model from 1936 onward.
