Aston Martin DB3 (United Kingdom, 1951-1956)

In 1951 Aston Martin released a series of racing-purpose cars which they called DB3 and kept producing them until 1953, when it was dropped from the tracks in favour of the DB3S. The car was specifically conceived and designed to race in competitions and, even though no amazing success was achieved, this model surely prompted the British carmaker to focus on the production of race-purpose cars.
