Buy this exceptional car and have no problems with vagaries of the stock market or property devaluation. It can only appreciate in value. Think about it.....Its available to touch, understand, and exhibit to those around you. Essentially a DB6 chassis with the alloy body professionally reworked to incorporate some of the curves found on the Project 214 and 215 cars but not including the competition shapes which would preclude registration. In appearance, body and lights are subtley remodelled to enhance the italian feel. Removal of american inspired badges adds to the pure effect of an uncluttered classical line. The essential aim was to reduce weight and incorporate competition refined features ....while employing more modern elements making the car more ‘userfriendly’ to drive. As an example, the controversial steel fuel tank originally located inside the cabin was replaced by a lighter underslung alloy tank of 50% greater capacity. It provides a lower centre of mass and the cars overall balance is unaffected. The car is one inch lower than normal and both suspension and wheel geometry have been modified to suit. Wheels are 7inch front, 9 inch rear butted spoke, polished Boranni type, all alloy, carrying Avon Turbospeed radials. The eared knock-ons remain. Suspension is by Koni adjustable shocks front & rear, replacing the early Armstrong friction units. Special progressive rate springs are employed & all major location bushes are Polyurethane. Accurate steering is by Adwest rack and pinion, polyurethane mounted for feel.....or an optional power unit is available for fitment. Braking is upgraded to DOT5 specification and modern friction pads are employed. Braking effort is further enhanced by two larger servos.
