Aston Martin DBR1-3 3rd Le Mans 1960 #7 by Jade Miniatures
Kit available JAD4399
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 highest profile outing for the car was at Le Mans, where Salvadori and Clark finished a fine third overall. The overall finish of the bodywork on our model is very good and the decals are well positioned. The ride height is off somewhat at the rear, but the remaining small detailing is neatly done.

About Jade Miniatures
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.
