Aston Martin DBR2 

 
Aston Martin DBR2
DBR2 began competition at the 1957 24 Hours of Le Mans. In 1958, the DBR2's were upgraded to newer 3.9 litre engines. DBR2’s won both the Sussex Trophy at Goodwood and the British Empire Trophy at Oulton Park, driven by Stirling Moss in both wins. Both DBR2s were upgraded to the 4.2 liter engines and transferred to America where they could compete easier with larger engine capacities.
 

 
A Rare Opportunity to Own a DBR1 and DBR2
In the late 1980’s Ashton Marshall, Fine Sports Cars Chief Engineer, received a request to build an Aston Martin DBR2, as the two original DBR2 cars were owned by the Aston Chairman, Peter Livanos, and were not for sale. A visit to the Newport Pagnell factory was planned. The executives at Aston Martin could not have been more helpful. They put Ashton in touch with Colonel Foreshaw who operated a restoration shop for Aston at the time. He was in possession of the original diagrams, drawings, and technical specifications for the DBR1 and DBR2.
 

Colonel Foreshaw provided Ashton with copies of all of the original mechanical drawings and design documents, and even the color swatches and leather samples for the cars. Within one year Ashton’s client was driving his own exact recreation of the infamous DBR2.
 

 
This unique car is now available again, with low mileage, fully tuned and serviced ready for the track.

Norman Dewis D-Type - Sanctioned by Norman Dewis
With three Le Mans wins, the Jaguar D-Type remains as one of the most successful racing cars ever. The Norman Dewis’ story at Jaguar is both of personal achievement and unique involvement in a heroic period of great cars in Jaguar’s history. In a career spanning 33 years at Jaguar, Norman Dewis tested and developed a remarkable series of cars including: the C-Type, D-Type, and XJ13, as well as driving the “works” D-Type in the 1955 Le Mans. This special sanctioned edition will produce five short-nose cars and five “works” long-nose cars. All of our cars will be constructed to original factory specifications, as personally certified and approved by Norman Dewis, and will qualify for vintage race certification and papers.

Customer Cars: Work in Progress

Bizzarrini Sanctioned 5300 GT Strada

 
Bizzarrini Sanctioned 5300 GT Strada
The Grifo 5300 GT Strada originally debuted at the 1963 Turin Auto Show and it was the talk of the show. The last car was built in 1968. Cars built under the Giotto Bizzarrini’s own name could best be described as the closest thing to taking a race car and putting it on the street.

We are also able to have our Bizzarrini Grifo cars certified by the master himself, Engineer Giotto Bizzarrini. For clients requesting a sanctioned car, Giotto Bizzarrini will oversee the construction process and engineering of their car. Upon completion of the car, he will present the new owner with a signed certificate of authenticity.
  

 

Ferrari 330P4

 
Ferrari 330P4
One of the most revered Ferraris is the 330P4. It immediately draws attention with curvaceously low lines and a sleek, yet aggressive demeanor. Interestingly, the P4 is also one of the last Ferrari prototypes that still resembles a sports car. And since only one completely original car remains, it's an elusive sight for many fans.
  

Ferrari 250 GTO

 
Ferrari 250 GTO
Recognized as the most revered race car in the world. While more modern supercars surpass the GTO in terms of performance, none excel better in both form and function. During its heyday, the GTO dominated the World Sportscar Championship, and it is still one of the most beautiful shapes ever to grace a Ferrari chassis.
 

 
We have the ability to build the 250 GTO to exact specifications here in our workshop, or in our Italian workshops. Our clients have the option of having their complete mechanical driveline built in engineering workshops in Modena that specialize in recreating historic Ferrari drivelines.

We are also able to have these cars certified by the 250 GTO master himself, Engineer Giotto Bizzarrini. For clients requesting a sanctioned car, Giotto Bizzarrini will oversee the construction process and engineering of their car. Upon completion of the car, he will present the new owner with a signed certificate of authenticity.
 

Currently in the Planning Process - Future Sanctioned Cars

Ferrari 250 GTO Prototype 0523GT

 
Ferrari 250 GTO Prototype
In 1961 Enzo personally directed Bizzarrini to build a new competition Berlinetta to win Le Mans. On August 11th, within 2 months of starting the project, perhaps the most famous prototype race car of all time rolled onto test track...so the 250 GTO legend was born. In November, due to the growing internal tensions, Giotto Bizzarrini did no more work on the car. And so as work began on the factory production versions, 0523GT was dismantled and lost forever.
 

 
Today, Bizzarrini has agreed to work with us to bring his car back to life an exact recreation of the lost Prototype # 0523GT. The construction and engineering will be overseen by Ferrari prototype 250 GTO Chief Engineer, Giotto Bizzarrini.

On completion of this prototype Giotto Bizzarrini will present the new owner with a signed certificate of authenticity.

 
At this time, Fine Sports Cars is in the process of working with Giotto Bizzarrini, the designer and engineer of the original 250 GTO prototype, to establish a portfolio of pictures and mechanical diagrams of the 0523GT prototype.
 

 
Work is planned to begin in 2011 on this unique car that marked the beginning of factory production of the world’s most famous and valuable race car. This Ferrari 250 GTO Prototype 0523GT will be built and engineered based on a customer donor car, the same model used by Bizzarrini to create the original 250 GTO prototype.
 

Norman Dewis XKSS - Sanctioned by Norman Dewis

 
The Jaguar XKSS is recognized today one of the rarest and most sought after sports cars from the 1950’s. Here was a thinly disguised, road-legal race car - a road-going version of the three-times Le Mans-winning Jaguar D-Type. Due to a fire at the Browns Lane factory, a total of only 16 XKSS cars were ever constructed.

We have started the planning and prototype process to build a limited run of 5 XKSS cars with Norman Dewis. Like the Norman Dewis D-Type, these cars will be built to the exact specifications of the original cars as they left the factory. The production run of the Norman Dewis sanctioned cars will be officially released in 2011. If you are interested in reserving one of these 5 cars please contact us.
 

Vignale Sanctioned 340MM Barchetta

 
Vignale Sanctioned 340MM Barchetta
Only five original 340MM cars were bodied by Vignale -
too few to satisfy the world's sports racing car enthusiasts.
 

 
This car design was successful from the start, winning the 1953 Mille Miglia and the Daily Express race at Silverstone.
 

Ferrari 340MM
Vignale #547
 

 
We are currently working with Alfredo Vignale and our engineers in Italy to release a limited edition of the Vignale family’s most famous car (shown here during its original build). The cars will be recreated with a hand-crafted body and chassis by local Italian artisans with personal certification from Sig. Alfredo Vignale.
 

 
What is a Remanufactured Car?
We have many clients call us and ask the difference between Fine Sports Cars’ remanufactured cars and a replica classic car, such as a replica Ferrari or replica Maserati. We also have calls asking for information about continuation cars, tribute cars, Ferrari clones or Maserati clones, Ferrari recreations, Maserati recreations, and Aston Martin recreations.
 

 
The key difference is that Fine Sports Cars’ expert teams construct each car to the “exact” period correct factory specifications of the original car using one or more of the following: accurate reproduction bucks, factory archives, the original car, the original mechanical drawings, consultation with marque and club historians; and input from the original factory, engineer, designer, and drivers.
 

 
Please see our full range of cars section to view the world’s widest inventory of replica cars, classic car recreations and classic car clones that are constructed “exact” in every detail, such as our factory and period correct replica Ferrari 250TR, replica 250SWB, replica Ferrari 250 California Spyder, replica Maserati, replica Aston Martin including the DB4GT Zagato, and replica Jaguar D-Type and XKSS models. Built to exact original specifications, we believe the value of our sports racing cars will track the future value curve of the original cars, and prove not only to be a great investment but to deliver motorsport experiences that will last a lifetime!
