Historic 1955 Aston Martin DB3S Sports Racing Car

A historic Aston Martin sports racer from 1955 is now available for auction. The DB3S will be auctioned at the RM Auction in Monterey, in California, on August 17^th and 18^th. It is one of the highlights of the event, since this Aston Martin’s design is a rarity and one of the most-expensive entries. The car has a strong racing past, since it was first bought by Hans David, a Dutch racer who competed in England. Then, the DB3S was sold to Paul Hyatt, a captain in the U.S. Merchant Navy, who took the beautiful vehicle to the United States, where it continued racing. The luxurious sportscar is equipped with its original 3-liter engine, a DB3S/118 chassis, and incredible bodywork, painted in a distinctive orange. In the auction, other important Aston Martin cars will be for sale, like an original 1960 Aston Martin DB4GT, a DB4 from 1962, a restored 1967 DB6 Volante and the 1950 DB2 Coupe. The Aston Martin DB3S Sports Racing car is expected to be sold at $3.68 million Dollars at the auction.
