1954 Aston Martin DB2\/4 Bertone Spider<\/h1>\n
\n

A year after the introduction of the DB2\/4, Stanley Harold Arnolt ordered several bare chassis for Bertone bodywork. Among a few different designs, he had three of these Spyders made. <\/span><\/p>\n

Franco Scaglione was responsible for the design at Carrozzeria Bertone. He used the flowing lines and added a sharpness by using a crease along the extremity of the the fenders. The result was distinctly Italian but didn’t lose the Aston Martin ‘look’. Later the successful design was used on Harold Arnolt’s Bristol-Bolide.<\/p>\n

Only three Bertone Spiders were made. Two of these were prepared with minimal interiors as if they were prepared for racing. LML\/505 differs with it’s more opulent interior and grill-fitted bumpers.<\/p>\n
