It's the 1959 Aston Martin DBR4 of Wolfgang Friedrichs, chassis DBR4/1. The DBR4 is a car that was
first built and tested in 1957 although it didn't make its Grand Prix debut
until 1959. By that time the new generation of rear-engined cars had made the
older front-engined cars uncompetitive and the best results it managed were Roy
Salvadori's sixth place finishes in the British and Portuguese Grands Prix in
1959. Originally powered by a 6-cylinder inline 2,493cc engine, Wolfgang Friedrichs’
car had the same 6-cylinder inline 2,992cc engine as the DB3S sports car.
