World's 'most important Aston Martin': Sports car that is just one of five ever made set to fetch £15m
The "most important Aston Martin ever produced" could become the most expensive British car sold publicly after it was given a £15million-plus price tag.
Aston Martin's 1956 DBR1 racing car is described as the firm's equivalent to the Ferrari 250 GTO and Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR.
Just five were built between 1956 and 1958 and this is chassis number one, a purpose-built model developed by racing design chief Ted Cutting.
