Ecurie Bertelli, the pre-war Aston Martin specialist, and HMG Paints, a United Kingdom-based independent paint manufacturer, have combined their market-leading knowledge for a one-of-a-kind project conserving a 1934 Aston Martin MKII.
The 1934 Aston Martin MKII chassis number 402 has had quite a year. After being found in a barn, the iconic car ended up winning the Octane magazine Car of the Year Award. After 50 years of being stored in the barn, the 402, now affectionately known as the “barn-find,” is believed to be one of the most original Aston Martins in the world. Uniquely, owner Tom Wood did not want the car restored but, rather, conserved. He entrusted the team at Ecurie Bertelli to lead the project who then called upon HMG’s unique skills.
