Preserving a Legend: The Aston Martin DBR1

Entry Description

The Aston Martin DBR1 is one of the most legendary and rarest racing cars in history. Built in the late 1950s, it achieved its greatest triumph at the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans, marking Aston Martin’s only overall victory in the prestigious race. With only five DBR1s ever produced, its exclusivity and historical significance make it a true collector’s masterpiece.

In 2017, the first DBR1 chassis was sold at RM Sotheby's Monterey auction for $22.5 million, setting a record as the most expensive British car ever sold at auction.
