DBR1/300 (Ian B. Baillie / Jack Fairman) at Le Mans.

Following their withdrawal from sports car racing, Aston Martin have no works car entries this year, and it is regrettable that there is no example of the DB4 G.T. model in the important gram turismo category. The privately entered DBR1-300 sports-racing cars are two of the ex-works machines which last year won at Le Mans, and brought the World Championship for Sports Car Constructors to this country.
The Border Reivers' entry, to be driven by Roy Salvadori and Jim Clark, is the car which won the Nurburgring 1000km race last year, and subsequently caught fire when leading the Tourist Trophy.
Ian Baillie's car, which he will share with Jack Fairman, is the machine that Baillie and Edward Greenall drove at the Nurburgring. It is, in fact, last year's Le Mans winner.
