Indeed the photo here shows the same grille and fender forms as the The Autocar, October 2, 1953 about the possibly very first test on the DB 2/4 ( at the time without Mark I, because they didn`t know a Mark II would be introduced). But the latest DB 2 spotted a very similar grille, not showing the 3-splited grille and the large side vents of the first DB 2: Link to "upload.wikimedia.org" but this one, keeping the split windscreen and an integrated grille, also the same we see here: Link to "www.google.com.br" -- Last edit: 2013-10-16 03:52:16
