Sorry ladies, I’ve got a feeling that only the boys reading are going to really “get” this one.
What you see here is a 1:1 scale of a real life car that once upon a time won the legendary Le Mans 24 hour GP. The fact that it’s your chance to own a life-sized replica of an Aston Martin, well that’s just gravy.
The Aston Martin DBR1 took Carroll Shelby (that’s the man behind the Cobra Shelby) and Roy Salvadori (that’s some other Italian guy) to victory in the 1959 Le Mans GP, and that was back in the day when it was all about racing skill and not at all about racing technology.
There is only one of these going on auction during Goodwood Revival weekend at a staggering price of £20,000-£30,000.
Actually it is 6.35 meters wide and 3.30 meters tall parts tree with all the handmade pieces you would need if you ever did decide to make it.
It comes with a DBR1 bodyshell, as well as accurately upholstered seats, four 16-inch wire wheels with Aston Martin knock-offs, a Mota Lita steering wheel and a cap signed by the two drivers.
Some pics below of the kit and the beautiful car it’s based on.
