Aston Martin’s DBR2 is viewed by many as the epitome of the 1950s sports racer. Based on the successful DBR1, the DBR2 featured a tubular chassis and a slightly longer body. Power came from Tadek Marek’s new all-alloy twin overhead cam six cylinder engine, which was being developed for use in DB4 sedan. Initially this engine appeared in 3.7 liter form but later stretched to 3.9 and then to 4.2 liters. A total of just fourteen DBR2s were built between 1956-1960, making this one of the most highly prized sports racing cars of all time. The Tempero re-creation of the DBR2 is faithful to the original concept, with a tubular chassis, independent front suspension, Dion rear suspension and disk brakes. Bodywork is an exact reproduction of the Aston’s flowing lines, built by craftsmen from sheet aluminium in the time honoured tradition of coach building. Several of these fabulous recreations are now in existence, as shown by the photos. A further car is currently under construction for a customer – these photos will be regularly updated as the car is completed.
