NAME: 1950s Aston Martin DB3
Among the many DB models suggested in here, I present the DB3. Built in the 50s using parts from the DB2, it was made to be (surprise surprise) a race car, used in Goodwood and Silverstone, with 5 chassis raced and 5 sold to customers. The DB3 was also followed by a DB3S (which might be a separate suggestion).
