Chassis: RHAM/1
Originally completed in 1969 as a DBS with chassis number DBSV8/10038/RC, this car was raced extensively and successfully by Robin Hamilton styled like a later V8. It then formed the basis for the unique RHAM/1 racing car, which was raced and further developed between 1977 and 1980. Arguably, its biggest success came in October of 1980 when it set the World Land Speed Record while towing a caravan. Retired from contemporary racing, it was preserved in its ultimate twin-turbo guise. It was regularly seen at AMOC events and also appeared at the 2007 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. It more recent years, it was acquired by a British enthusiast, who set about restoring the unique machine to its 1977 specification. In this guise, it was first seen in action at the 2016 Le Mans Classic.
