Aston Martin DBR1-3 Nurburgring 1960 #8 Alternative version JAD4399MB LM 1960 JAD4399MC Goodwood 1960 JAD4399MD Silverstone 1960 JAD4399ME Charterhall 1961 JAD4399MF LM 1961 & JAD4399 kit At the end of the 1959 season Aston Martin sold off most of their sports prototypes with the cars going to a number of established teams. One such was the Border Reivers equipe who obtained DBR1/3 for use by Jim Clark. The car was modified with a higher tail and taller full width windscreen to comply with the new ‘Appendix C’ regulations. The kit offers no fewer than six race options, four from 1960 and two from 1961 when Clark was generally otherwise occupied at Lotus. Our hand built samples are all well finished and match the period photos that are included with the kit instructions. The red rings on the roundels for the Nurburgring and Silverstone versions add to the visual appeal of already attractive models.
A well established range of well thought out kits and hand built models of competition cars, mostly from the golden era of the 1950s and 60s. The kits are generally pretty simple with well cast resin bodies, small numbers of resin and white metal ancillaries and a modest amount of etch. In the case of open wheeled subjects, the etch usually includes most or all of the suspension. Hand builts generally well finished. Made in France.
