DBR Replica

As the real DBR1 and DBR2 race cars are incredibly beautiful yet extremely rare, it is not a surprise that a number of replica cars have been built. This page will only consider those replicas that have been based on Aston Martin chassis with Aston Martin engines. The DBR2 is perhaps the more popular car for people to emulate as it is slightly larger than the DBR1 and in period did use an early version the straight 6 cylinder engine used in the road going DB4, DB5, DB6 and DBS cars of the 1960's.

Most of these cars have been created from donor DBS with the 6 cylinder engines which for many years have been an inexpensive starting point for such projects. As the value of the DBS has subsequently risen, most replicas now often have no actual Aston Martin parts at all. 

The cars featured here all have an Aston Martin engine and maybe other elements of the donor car’s running gear.
