Aston Martin DB MKIII DHC 'AM300/3/1609' was first registered in 1958 and supplied new to Guy Salmon Automobiles Ltd, Surrey, and subsequently sold to its first custodian, Mr Peter Cadbury of Ascot, Berkshire.

'1609' left the factory fully equipped with the DBA-type engine number '1229' and transmission overdrive, which are both retained today.

Evidence of racing history with the Aston Martin Owners Club Register 1984 detailing '1609' with the registration '740 HKR' in participation at Silverstone in 1981, winning 2nd place, 1982, winning 4th place and again in 1982 at Loton Park, winning 4th place, owned at the time by C. Lee.

Various invoices detail restoration work carried out on the MKIII, with the exterior colour changed to the unmistakable British Racing Green.

The MKIII is heading to a wonderful new home, where it will join an impressive collection of Aston Martin cars.
