Chassis:
Aston Martin's two car entry for the 24 Hours of Le Mans race came into jeopardy when the first chassis was destroyed during testing. At the very last minute (literally) chassis 03 was completed in the team's pit box at the French track. The first practice sessions were nothing more than shakedown tests for the brand new AMR1. Piloted by David Leslie, Ray Mallock and David Sears, chassis 03 only made it until the tenth hour when electrical problems caused a retirement. This was also the end of the chassis' contemporary racing career as the team campaigned the newer, lighter examples in the remainder of the season. Since then the ex-Le Mans chassis has seen very little action, being used mostly for static display. In 2004 it was offered by Christie's at their Le Mans Classic auction and changed hands for nearly 300,000 Euro.
