Mostly  open  two-seater  sports  cars  and  mostly  bodied  by  Bert  Bertelli's brother  Enrico,  a  small  number  of  longchassis  four-seater  tourers,  dropheads and  saloons  were  also  produced.   The  example  presented  here  today represents  an  outstanding  example  of  a late  model  Mk.  II,  four-seater  and  is  one of  only  forty  five  produced  between 1934  and  1935.  The  Mk.  II  was  the  final generation  of  the  1½  litre  series  which  had  already  built  a  reputation  for itself  as  one  of  the  best  handling  and  braking  sports  cars  of  the  period. Indeed  this  model  saw  further  improvements  to  the  chassis,  suspension  and engine  (now  uprated  to  73bhp),  which  made  it  one  of  the  fastest  point  to point  cars  of  the  time.   EYT  978  is  well  known  in  the  AMOC  having  won  both  the  Edwards  and Sutherland  concours  trophies  in  1989  after  a  four  year  rebuild.  She  was little  used  after  this,  covering  just  over  4,000  miles  in  the  next  twenty  years and,  after  45  years  of  continuous  ownership,  was  sold  in  2011  to  Mr  Julian SAMMELLS, and now owned by Sergio PEINETTI. EYT  978  has  subsequently  seen  three  summers  of  more  regular  use  which has  naturally  highlighted  a  few  items  that  needed  attention.  Consequently she  has  had  some  £7,000  spent  on  her  recently  to  include  new  tyres;  a suspension  overhaul  including  re-tempered  leaf  springs  and  new  bronze bushes;  new  brake  linings;  reconditioned  magneto;  reconditioned  rev. counter;  new  exhaust  downpipes  and  a  number  of  cosmetic  items  including new  paint  to  the  rear  mudguards.   Complete  with  her  original  leather upholstery  she  has  been  described  by  a marque  specialist  as  "a  rare  example  to near  original  specification"  and  comes together  with  a  comprehensive  history f ile.   Early  Aston  Martins  represent  everything  that  epitomises  British  motoring; triumph  over  adversity,  great  styling,  superb  engineering  and  heady performance.  It  is  no  surprise  that  these  motorcars  are  highly  prized  and extremely  sought  after.
