Sold for: $1,980,000
Auction House: RM Auctions
A purpose-built race car, designed to replace the earlier DB3 and restore Aston Martin to glory after the company's devastation during World War II, the DB3S has a storied history. This particular model placed third at the 1955 Hyeres 12-Hour, in France, despite the car itself being finished literally days before the race. Reputably the first DB3S to make its way to the States, it kept its racing heritage alive after being sold to an American, Rod Carveth, who took it across California and the country to compete.
