The first DBS 59 components have arrived from Aston Martin. See below image of the period helmet, goggles and gloves. Two sets of these items, along with period race suits will be in each car. Note the helmets are finished in Aston Martin Racing Green, complete with the '59' logo. The first 4 x cars will go into build at the end of February and four cars will then be built each week with production expected to complete by early May. Photos of a completed car will follow as soon as we have studio shots available:-

Do you measure each customer for the correct helmet and glove sizing when they place the order?
We offered this service with the Red Arrows cars and the interest from the buyers was so low we had to work very hard (multiple nagging e-mails and calls - to the point we felt like we were being a pain) to get all the measurements (15 measurements for each suit plus helmet size) that I decided this time we would order them all to the same size. The inner of the helmet can be swapped out and we can order bespoke suits/gloves for any owner that wants to wear them.

Will the owners actually wear said items. Can’t imagine anyone driving wearing helmet gloves goggles and overalls.
