This car took part in the Classic Car Sports Car Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1994.
It's the 1959 Aston Martin
DBR1 of Simon Draper and has the 6-cylinder inline 2,922cc engine. It is
chassis DBR1/4, the car that finished in second place at the 1959 Le Mans 24
Hour race driven by Maurice Trintignant and Paul Frère - the winner being DBR1/2
driven by Roy Salvadori and Carroll Shelby. DBR1/4 then finished in fourth
place in the 1959 Tourist Trophy race, driven by the same two drivers - and
again the race was won by DBR1/2 this time driven by Stirling Moss, Carroll
Shelby and Jack Fairman.
