JRodrigues, actualizaste um excelente «revival» da saga Aston!

O DBR9 não foi a primeira colaboração entre a Astom Martin e a Prodrive

1995 Aston Martin DB7 GT
Aston Martin Competitions department Prototype Sports Racing Car # 001
The result of a joint development project between Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd and Prodrive of Banbury, the DB7 GT sports racing car’s target was the 'Gentleman Racer'. This car was built by the Aston Martin Competitions Department in 1995 and was subsequently tested at Goodwood and Millbrook by among other luminaries, Sir Stirling Moss and Le Mans winner Andy Wallace. Never raced, this exciting former factory prototype has been expertly maintained whilst in private ownership and has been road registered.

The ex-Prince Bertil of Sweden, Aston Martin DB2 Drophead Coupe
‘LML/50/26’ was delivered new to well known Aston enthusiast Prince Bertil of Sweden, the second production drophead, and the first DHC fitted with a Vantage engine. Completely restored in the USA, including a recent full engine rebuild and mechanical overhaul, it features several period modifications. A stunning and impressive example of this early model with important provenance.

Posso corrigir?? Lotus Cortina

The Lotus-Cortina, the car sometimes known as 'the original fast Ford', appeared in January 1963. There was an increasing demand for sporty cars, and in the USA the relationship between racing success and sales success was being realised. In the early '60s Ford implemented a worldwide policy of 'Total Performance', and each Ford division was left to its own devices. The Lotus-Cortina was the brainchild of the Ford of Britain Public Affairs chief at the time, Walter Hayes. He went on to take part in the founding of the Ford Advanced Vehicle Operation (FAVO), which was later responsible for such efforts as the GT40 and the Escort RS models. The Lotus-Cortina was conceived and developed rapidly, as anyone who owned one and had the rear suspension collapse will tell you.

So how did Lotus fit into the scheme of things? At the time Lotus were developing a twin-cam engine based on the bottom end of Ford's 1499cc powerplant for their Elan, and Hayes knew Lotus boss Colin Chapman personally. Hayes put forward the proposal to Chapman of assembling 1000 Cortinas with the Lotus-Ford engine, so the car could be raced and rallied as a Group 2 production car. Group 1 cars had to be virtually the same as the average family car, but Group 2's could have modified engines, steering and suspension. The thumbs-up was given, and the Type 28 Lotus was born, eventually to be called 'Cortina developed by Lotus' by Ford, and the 'Lotus-Cortina' by the rest of us. You could get yourself one for £1100.

The car succeeded magnificently in lifting Ford's performance image, with its rapid performance and taut and grippy handling making it a great success on both race tracks and rally courses. But it didn't do so much for building a reputation as a producer of reliable cars...

Sim. De facto é um «Ford Cortina by Lotus» como o atesta o prestigioso símbolo na grelha epróximo da óptica direita.
