Description

Inspired by one of the most celebrated sports racing cars of the 1950s, the Aston Martin DBR1 remains an enduring symbol of the marque's competition heritage. Most famously associated with Aston Martin's victory at the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans, the DBR1 combined elegant, purposeful styling with considerable racing success, becoming one of the defining British sports racing cars of its era.

This beautifully proportioned Junior example recreates the distinctive appearance of the original, finished in traditional Aston Martin 1958 Racing Green with contrasting white racing roundels. Manufactured by Pur Sang Argentina, this miniature recreation offers the opportunity to enjoy the character and visual appeal of a legendary competition car in a more compact form. Pur Sang needs no introduction to those familiar with the world of Bugatti, the firm's Type 35 recreations being universally admired for their incredible authenticity and quality execution. Powered by an electric motor with rechargeable battery, the junior DBR1 is a meticulous recreation of the original.

Built with considerable attention to detail, the DBR1 Junior features hand-formed all-aluminium bodywork, wire-spoke wheels with two-lug knock-off fittings and pneumatic Dunlop Racing S tyres. The single-seat cockpit is trimmed in check cloth and incorporates an illustrated dashboard with gauges depicting engine speed, water temperature, oil pressure and oil temperature. Powered by a rechargeable 12-volt electric system, the car drives the rear wheels through a motor, chain and crown-wheel arrangement, with forward, neutral and reverse selected via a floor-mounted hand lever. Further equipment includes a steering wheel-operated rod-control system, working lights, horn and battery isolator switch. Measuring approximately 210cm long, 85cm wide and 53cm high to the top of the windscreen, this distinctive Junior is an appealing addition to any collection of Aston Martin memorabilia or motorsport-themed automobilia. Offered with its charger, it presents an opportunity to acquire a characterful miniature interpretation of one of Britain's most iconic racing cars. Consigned by Charlie McCreery
