V8LM, Someone said on here earlier about 'living the dream', that's exactly how it feels,,,, did it really happen, was I really there??
Buster, all 24 cars were transported over and back again using enclosed transporters. Collection/delivery from AM Cambridge will I assume commence tomorrow.
Thanks for the reply , I’d seen that they had been transported over , just got me wondering how they got back.Buster, all 24 cars were transported over and back again using enclosed transporters. Collection/delivery from AM Cambridge will I assume commence tomorrow.
A once in a lifetime experience it must have been.

Oh how magnificently unforgettable the whole experience has been,,,, immense gratitude to all involved,,,, Simon you have made history my friend.
We were fortunate enough to see the procession arriving back at the end of the lap & turning into the back of the paddock....it was certainly impressive & must have been incredible to be part of.In a word 'surreal'. This pic at the Hotel de France, home from 1953 of the Le Mans David Brown Aston Martin Racing Team and remained so for the rest of their racing years. Yes that is Andy Palmer and Simon Lane, obscured is Simon Sproule the Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for Aston Martin since 2014. Marek Reichman arrived later. They were all there,,,,, I'm not sure 'surreal' covers it really.'
This is DBR1/5, the last of the 5 cars produced. A privateer car build by Motor Works with parts from the factory for Graham and Peter Whitehead. It did compete at the 1959 Le Mans race but a crash rendered it unable to continue.

That's fantastic - some things money cant buy and some it can. At the end of the day this is a one off experience and you get a fantastic car ! best of both worlds. Well done. Im sure you will treasure the memories of the day and enjoy the driving.
Saw a DBS 59 in Coalville yesterday having a tracker fitted I assume,
I see quite a few nice cars at this place as its a minute from work, have seen an all black Senna, yellow ferraris, maclarens etc.
What struck me about the DBS (first time I'd seen one in the flesh) was firstly how much bigger it was that what I normally see in the lockup and secondly just how purposeful / menacing / bulgy it looked.
Love the colour and the contrast calipers!

The view in the rear mirrors is dominated by the haunches. It is a lovely sight.
