Aston Martin DB3S

Yesterday I showed a photograph of a Brabham BT4 being driven by Frank Sytner at Donington Park. Here's a photograph of another of Frank Sytner's cars, with which he competed in the Coys Race for Pre-1959 Drum Brake Sports Cars at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2002.
It's a 1955 Aston Martin DB3S, one of the customer cars, and is chassis DB3S/116. The DB3S was built with a Lagonda 2,992cc straight-6 engine, but according to the programme of this event this car then had a 2,800cc unit. The original owner of this car was the Rank Organisation who bought the car when making the film 'Checkpoint'.
This is Frank Sytner at Lodge Corner during the race.
