As well as the Spa Replica, Aston Martin premiered the Two Litre Sports on their stand at the 1948 London Motor Show. It was also based on a chassis much like that of the Atom and was powered by Claude Hill's 2 litre 4 cylinder push rod engine. Partly due to the weight of the 2 seater open coachwork and the modest power output of 90 bhp, maximum speed was only 93 mph.

Sadly, only 14 examples were built, 13 with the open 2 seater coachwork, and a single example sold chassis only.
