Aston Racing Green Aluminium bodywork with yellow nose cone.
Leather seats with original style green basket weave inserts.
3. 8 litre Jaguar XK engine rebuilt to original specification in 2016 and tested to 232 bhp and 325 NM torque. Fitted with Aston Martin look-alike cam covers. Triple Weber carburetors with electronic Multiport injection system.

Heuer clock and stopwatch.
14 gallon fuel tank meaning a range of over 300 miles miles at around 22mpg on a run. I have used the car regularly covering over 1, 000 miles a year driving to AMOC and other events around the UK and in France. It has the benefit of plentiful luggage capacity enabling long distance touring (complete with black tie Finale dinner at the end of the day!) And no complaints from Mrs DBR1. Three time visitor to Le Mans and recent trip to Angouleme Circuit des Remparts (as spectator/ Rallye participant).
It is huge fun to drive – light and powerful with superb handling and yet a comfortable ride. On track the experience is wonderful – strong acceleration, good controlled braking and neutral handling. A delight.
Awards include: Spirit of the Trip Octane Tour 2016; Winner – car of the show St Mawes classic 2018.
