By Steve Nolan PUBLISHED: 11:35 EST, 27 February 2013 | UPDATED: 12:33 EST, 27 February 2013 It may look like a rusty wreck, but this ultra-rare Aston Martin will still set you back a pretty penny - and will cost a further £250,000 to restore to its former glory. For the 1949 Aston Martin Two-Litre Sports was just the fourth car built by the iconic British car company after it was bought by David Brown. The much-coveted car, which retrospectively became known as the DB1, is one of just 15 ever made and nine still in existence.
