Aston Martin Le Mans car tail sections value?
Discussion
Hi all
This might be a bit of a weird one but a few years ago I was acquired a pair of Carbon tail sections from a Lola B08/60 Aston Martin. I bought them because I thought they were just a cool thing to own knowing the racing history of Aston Martin at Le Mans and had planned to do something with them (maybe turn them into a desk etc).
Well I'd forgotten all about them until the other day when I was in the loft and am thinking of getting rid of them but I've no idea how rare these are and how much they might be worth?
The tails have the original serial numbers and Lola stickers. As you may know Aston Martin returned to racing at Le Mans using Lola cars in 2008 under the Charouz Racing System team. So these represent a part of Aston Martin's racing history at Le Mans as well as Lola which are no more.
Here's a few pictures of the tails any help identifying value would be really useful.
Thanks
Trevor

Certainly a cool item
If it is from the Lola B08/60, which I think it is, then technically, it's not an Aston Martin at all - just an Aston Martin engined Lola. I might be wrong, but I think the AM V12 was removed an replaced a year or two later by something else.

If it is from the slightly later B09/60 DBR1-2, that is an Aston Martin and I would say, worth considerably more
