What happened to this bird's Aston DB 2/4?

Ah! Girls and classic Astons - that brings us to our Friday Lady Tippi Hedren in Hitchcock's The Birds, right? Of course it does. Not just because it was a damned good movie, but also because she must have been at the top of her career, driving that delicate roadster. The incredible thing is that so far no one has claimed the drophead DB2/4 to be theirs. Could that mean the lhd car, registered RUJ 655 on California plates, could still be languishing in an American barn? Who knows. It would be about time to relieve that other silver coloured film car, built at the Aston works, from its seemingly ever lasting PR-journey. We’ve seen that now, thank you.

rectification on the previous information, as i could not find anything about the Aston used in the movie the Birds i checked the internet and found the chassis number LML944 and this is the correct number for the car used in the movie and during 2000 it was still in the USA

going trough the Aston Martin club register i can see that LML727 ended up in Germany in 1992 and also 1996 still whit the same owner, strange there is nothing mentioned that this was the Aston Martin used in the Birds, if the Aston Martin is still in Germany i dont know the Aston Martin Herritage probaly might do

One of the few films where the sound of the car really belongs to the car, lovely that six cylinder all the way up in the revs, enclosed another friday lady with LML 688
good luck with the website

----------------------
een van de weinige films waar het geluid van de auto echt bij de auto hoort, heerlijk die zes cilinder helemaal wat hoger in de toeren, bijgesloten nog een vrijdag dame met LML 688
succes met de site

The very rare left-hand drive Aston was owned by Jules Stein of MCA which owned Universal Studios. Stein leased the car to the production. Over the years the car saw several subsequent owners, ending up in Europe.
