Le Mans week: Buy your own Aston Le Mans car

DBR9 for sale at Oakfields

Five hundred grand plus VAT, please...

If you’ve caught Le Mans fever this year, are in the market for a racing or trackday car and have a spare half mill tucked down the back of your sofa, we’ve got just the car for you.

Yes, you’re too late to enter the 24 hour classic this year, but at least with this DBR9 parked in your garage you can kid yourself what might have been possible.

If you are thinking of going racing it’ll need a bit of softening up if it’s to qualify for the FIA series, or alternatively leave the big wings and de-restricted engine in place and head for the ‘Ring.

Now that's a proper rear wing...

Looks gorgeous, doesn’t it – and imagine seeing this in your mirror on a trackday. We’ve dismantled the entire PH office but all we found was 36 pence, a 1/43 model of a ’74 911 Carrera RSR belonging to the Editor and a used racing slick from Racing Pete’s Midget. It’s over to you…
