Aston Martin slowly but surely updates its models. This DB2/4 MKIII, more commonly known as MKIII, was sold from 1957 to 1959. 511 units were made. It succeeded the DB2/4 MKII. Its redesigned, less high “waterfall” grille characterized the Aston Martins that followed. In the movie Goldfinger, James Bond drives a DB5 but in the novel by Ian Fleming, the car is a MKIII.
