That's the special 100 coupe made, I think it still exists in the exact same
shape & color in the UK. It was put together as an exercise to see if there
was any demand for a coupe. The only other 100 coupe was DMH's personal 100
coupe with the 100S motor.
There were also two 3000 coupes made. All of these coupes still exist as
far as I am aware, they are highly sought after and most are quite
attractive, really. This particular coupe is arguably the least attractive
of the 4, but still nice. I was designed with the fast back lift gate -
obviously a derivative of the DB 2/4 liftgate which gentleman bird & fox
hunters preferred. You later saw this liftgate put on the E-type much
later.
Clearly since only a handful of DB 2/4s were made, it was probably
determined the demand for this type of body was very limited. I think DMHs
100 is more of a standard 100 w/ integral hard top and slightly modified
boot lid.
