Manufacturer description

In real life, the Aston Martin DB Mark III, was classed as a sports car which the British company made between 1957 and 1959, with only 551 being produced, ensuring its exclusivity. One could buy it as a 2 + 2 hatchback, (the subject of our 1:43 scale model), 2-seater coupe or 2-seater drophead, as modelled here in 1:76 scale. The Mark III was the first model to sport the new radiator grille which would become the hallmark of all Astons from then on. The DBIII also featured another first in its design evolution - a sloping hatchback body.

Decorated in the highly complimentary dark British Racing Green with textured black roof in the down position, our model is registered XGT 506. The interior is black, including the seating, with a tan steering wheel - even the glove box has a tan finish - and black dashboard, complete with detailed instrument panel with silver surrounds to the dial rims. Externally the wheels and the distinctive Aston Martin radiator grille are both given a silver finish.
