If $22.5m for an original Aston Martin DBR1 is a bit of a stretch then this ASM R1 is without doubt the next best thing! Each car is built to order to the customers specifications. It is equipped with a Jaguar XK 4.2-litre ‘club sport’ straight six, tuned to produce around 270bhp and 300lb-ft of torque, coupled to a Getrag five-speed manual transmission to propel you it is nothing short of a thrilling drive!

A convincing recreation of the Le Mans-winning Aston Martin DBR1/2, hand-built in 2010 by AS Motorsport to a very high standard, and which is now in excellent condition throughout.

It was recently re-imported from the south of France, where it has been fastidiously maintained. Thought to be one of only 20 DBR1/2 recreations in existence, it has been driven to the Mille Miglia, Gran Premio Nuvolari, Goodwood Revival, Monza, Maranello, and of course, Le Mans.

The car is being auctioned on Collecting Cars but before the auction finishes James has managed to squeeze in a quick blast and take a look around this highly detailed and faithful homage.
