Looks like it could be an engine of some sort.
Is that your Christian Grey room Bob?
I have to say that the wheels aren't that impressive though
The engine is a dummy, its just there to aid the chassis build, which is sitting on the jig trolley,,,which is not anywhere near me or my precious 'car room'. Is that your Christian Grey room Bob?

My g*d,,,,okay, okay, okay,,,that little guessing game didn't last very long did it! No wonder really of course, the depth of knowledge of all things Aston Martin on this forum I venture to suggest is on a global scale surpassed by only one other center of Aston-ishment, that being our friends over on the AMOC site.
Jonny, Tony, Ed, you each got it in one, well done. Graham, your attention to detail syndrome I can now see does have its advantages (scary). Jon69, again, spot on, the reg plate for my DBR Le Mans car is MO55 DBR,,,which unbelievably I bought off the DVLA site only last summer.

Truly superb.
Is it going to be alloy bodied with a Marek engine?
Thanks Jonny. Yes, alloy body, fitted with the final 4.0 litre version of the Tadek Marek straight 6 engine.Is it going to be alloy bodied with a Marek engine?
George thank you too. I'll add pictures as the build progresses if there's enough interest.

Enough interest Bob? You are living the dream - building your own car! I for one want to see the pictures please. Just out of curiosity where did you find the engine?
Well for me yes it is a dream but I am mindful that a 'recreation' is not everyones cup-a-tea. The engine was advertised in a number of places last year including Ebay on behalf of the owner by the Duke of London Car and Classic. As I mentioned its a 4.0 litre last variant of the Marek straight 6, fitted with triple 45DCOE Webers as standard, producing 325 bhp. Our idea is to fit a full management system to control fuel injection and ignition, apparently this mod will increase bhp but also makes the engine more 'civilised'.
