Three Q by Aston Martin DB12 S commissions recall the racing DB2 cars registered VMF 63, 64 and 65, with red, yellow and blue detailing.
Three historic registration numbers give a modern Aston Martin commission an unusually precise starting point. Q by Aston Martin’s DB12 S trio recalls the DB2 racing cars known as VMF 63, VMF 64 and VMF 65, commemorating the marque’s early 1950s competition story.
The cars were shown around Monterey’s collector-car events. They share a Carbon Black base but distinguish individual examples through red, yellow and blue accents.
Colour with a purpose
Painted grille vanes and side strakes translate a historic identification device into a modern design feature. Commemorative roundels and a DB2 reference at the rear extend the visual story.
The project does not attempt to reproduce the old racing cars mechanically. Their real-world history informs the treatment of a present-day grand tourer.
Details continue inside
Q has brought the accent colours into the cabin through stitching and selected controls. Embroidered DB2 outlines and dedicated plaques provide another reference for enthusiasts familiar with the VMF cars.
Each of the three has its own identity while remaining part of the same collection. That gives the set a coherence beyond a simple limited-production badge.
A distinct anniversary project
The VMF trio should not be confused with Aston Martin’s separate five-car Heritage Edition collection. It specifically draws on the DB2 racing programme and the contemporary DB12 S.
For an owner interested in automotive provenance, the story of the original cars is part of the attraction. The current commission connects that archive with the design and comfort of a modern road car.
