Gregor Fisken ensured that the Le Mans-winning Aston Martin DBR1 delivered a fitting tribute to its victorious ‘59 crew by bringing the car home second overall in the Le Mans Classic’s race for 1957-61 sportscars last weekend.
One of the great joys of working with important old cars is what turns up whilst researching their history, these little seen photos being a first rate example. Whilst investigating the history of the first Bentley factory Le Mans entry from 1925, a 3 Litre that we are currently offering for sale, marque specialist Clare Hay uncovered these fabulous photos.
One of the most gladdening stories to emerge from Fiskens’ trip to this year’s Retromobile Show was that of sportscar racing veteran Henri Greder, who was reunited with the car in which he contested the 1967 Targa Florio.
