Video of the Week: Aston Martin DBR1 at Dijon-Prenois
![Date Date](/universal/images/transparent.png)
Here is another video from Gregor Fiskens. The audio is not so great but the footage shows a lovely dice with a Maserati Birdcage.
I think the DBR1 is perhaps the prettiest of all 1950's sports cars. It's more Italianate and flowing than any Jaguar, more emotional than the Mercedes 300SLR, yet more understated and refined than any Ferrari. I would say the car it compares most closely to in looks is the Maserati 300S. But I happen to like the lines of the Aston more. Truly a wonderful machine! At bottom is a photo I took of Dr. Simeone's DBR1 in Philadelphia.
