Not being certain of the model of this car, I entered the numberplate to check the tax/MOT status (and find what it is) and it comes up as a Volvo, but surely, it's an Aston Martin DB4 ?

Tough times. Subsequent to the Suez crisis in ‘56 fuel rationing was introduced in December ‘56 and continued for 5 months.

This is the book you would have been issued with if your chosen weapon exceeded 20HP or 2201cc.

DB5 as sold by Bonhams in 2017. Number plate must have migrated to Sweden since.

The plate feels familiar. Richard Davies who was the commentator at Llandow & Castle Combe circuits for many years ran a DB5 with a personalised plate. My memory doesn’t stretch quite far enough to remember whether this was his plate.

County Kildare, apparently.

2nd February 2003. Daytona 24 hours. All of the new Daytona Prototypes proved to be not terribly fast and shook themselves to pieces (maybe a good thing).

So a car from the lower classes took overall honours. Namely the #66 TRG Porsche 911 GT3.
