Ever thought about what happens to prototypes after Aston Martin have finished with them? Well just occasionally they are sold on to race car enthusiasts. Six ex-prototype DB7 Vantage chassis were sold in the mid 2000’s and three are in various stages of development to race on the track. This new page shows these fascinating cars.
What with the DBR1 and DBR2 being such very rare cars, it is hardly surprising that enthusiasts have copies or replicas made from donor Aston Martins such as the inexpensive DBS. This new page features just such a car. An homage to one of the most beautiful racing sports cars of the 1950’s.
New page today featuring the 2005 Le Mans 24 hour are which saw the return of Aston Martin to the most famous race in the world.
Having been unable to be at Le Mans in 2010, I missed one of only two possible opertunities to photograph the AMR-One, the LMP1 racecar that was just a little too ahead of it’s time. No worries, thankfully one was displayed in Parc Prive during the Aston Martin Centenary Celebrations in Kensington Palace during July 2013.
