The MX5 based Aston Martin DBR1

Postby Exocet Australia » Wed Jan 01, 2014 11:25 pm

Hi Guys,

After numerous inquiries, I've decided to make available the MX5 based MEV Replicar DBR1 to the Australian market.

All you need is your donor and the kit.

Email info@exocet.com.au for pricing

So I'm guessing from the shape that this is an entirely new shell that drops onto the MX5 roller skate, the same as an Exocet?

Beautiful!!! In my youth I owned a Buchanan (Aston DB3S) replica and have kicked myself ever since the day I sold it.That was a fairly agricultural machine, a simple fibreglass shell bolted onto an MGTC platform but then updated (?) to a Triumph Vitesse chassis and 2.6 litre Ford Zephyr engine.
Wow! That body looks great.....
When can we get to see one???....
How much?....

Just to get you drooling Kieth, have a look on ebay - not a Buchanan but close to it (MG Berkeley) although not as pretty.
