DBR9 for sale at Oakfields
Five hundred grand plus VAT, please...
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...

For the record we purchased the Aston Martin DBR9 race car recently from the estate of the previous owner, who unfortunately passed away and hence the reason the car has not had too much us, they had a sizable collection of very nice cars, and indeed there own race track on which to run them.
By no stretch of the imagination is the car a dog, quite the contrary, visits our web site @ www.oakfields.com or clicks on the link to read about the car and you will see the owner did not skimp on the specification.

This was the car offered for sale at the recent Aston Martin sale but unfortunately it did not reach its reserve. The car at Romans was a DBRS9 race car. You can see the car at http://www.romansinternational.co.uk/car.asp?id=43...
I hope this clears up a few of your queries.
On the subject of having your own track, my lottery fantasy has always been to buy a disused airfield in the middle of nowhere and spend the rest of my life tearing round it (and the custom built infield, naturally) in my collection of awesome cars.
Sod building a kart track, I'd have a fleet of Renault Cup cars stashed away for when my mates and i fancied a race!
