1952 Aston Martin DB3 Navigation
This Aston Martin DB3 is the fifth of five Aston works cars among the ten DB3s built. The 2.6-liter DB3 made its racing debut in September 1951 in the Tourist Trophy at Dundrod. In May 1952 the DB3s placed 2nd, 3rd, and 4th at Silverstone behind Aston's arch rival, the Jaguar C-Type driven by Stirling Moss. The cars needed more power for the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June so a larger 2.9-liter engine was installed. All three cars retired but DB3/5 ran well into the 22nd hour driven by Lance Macklin and Peter Collins. Collins later drove DB3/5 to a win at the Goodwood 9 Hour race. Later the car was fitted with DB3S-style fixed head coupe bodywork but it has since been returned to its original 1952 configuration.
