Ultra-rare and widely regarded as a stunning piece of design, Aston Martin DB3s are very much in demand in the collector market. Tributes like this car are also rare.
Supercar Nostalgia online reveals: “In the days when huge crowds were drawn to circuits everywhere, racing success was considered one of the best ways for a manufacturer to advertise. With this in mind, David Brown commissioned a new Sports racing car in the spring of 1951.
“The resultant DB3 used a tuned version of Aston Martin’s straight six engine which was dropped into a brand new chassis and draped in a lightweight Spider body.
“Ten DB3s would eventually be built.”
This tribute car is built on a DB2/4 base and is said to use the original styling buck for the bodywork. The build is said to have taken a decade.
John Conroy in Brisbane has it on the market for $1 million.
