DB LeMans

DB showed its first cabriolet already in 1950, and several designs followed until ultimately in 1959 a production version appeared, aptly named Le Mans as DB had just won the overall index performance there.

Compared to the HBR6 its wheelbase increased from 212 to 240 cm, making it really comfortable for open air driving with sufficient interior space. Technically the cars remainde the same so the same two engines as for the HBR6 were available, and in spite of its greater length, (and weight) performance levels remained the same, whereby the 70 BHP/954cc engine allowed a top speed of 180 kph. Production lasted only for two years, as the founders of the company split up in 1961.

Shown are some examples that were at the DB club meet during the Le Mans Classic 2006. The blue one shows the available hardtop, while the red one is a late 1961 Grand Luxe version, with double headlights.

I think it looks more like a Ferrari replica with 300SL roadster headlights and a VW Beetle windscreen ( at least the red one)
A quite cute cabriolet nonetheless of which I never thought it has a displacement of under one litre.
