ABOUT THIS COMMISSION
Pictured here at Silverstone by Tim Wallace, is a 1959 example of the Aston Martin DBR1; an historic racing car built by Aston Martin between 1956 and 1959, intended for the World Sportscar Championship as well as non-championship sports car races at the time. This wall art is available in a range of print formats and is limited to 100 units, ever.

The DBR1's most iconic victory was at the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans, Aston Martin's only outright victory at the endurance classic. This vintage racing car is one of only three cars in the 1950s to win both the World Sports Car Championship and Le Mans 24 Hours in the same year (the others being the Ferrari 375 Plus in 1954 and the Ferrari 250TR in 1958).

In addition the six World Sports Car Championship victories was a record for any car in the 1950s and remained a record in the championship until surpassed by the Ferrari 250TR. The three consecutive triumphs in 1959 at the Nürburgring, Le Mans and the Tourist Trophy equalled the record set by the Ferrari 250TR with its three consecutive victories at the start of the 1958 season. In August 2017, car DBR1/1 was sold for a world record price for a British-made car of $22.5 million USD.
