1952 Aston Martin DB3

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).

I think the Ka-52 will easily roll all this into a tube and throw it in the trash. The alligator is significantly faster

I was just as surprised honestly. The DB3S is a bit more well known online, while the DB3 has “limited” info on it. Most of the time people even post articles on the DB3, referring to the S gen
