Aston Martin Le Mans B3/238/S was originally sold through Winter Garden Garages, the first owner recorded by the first AMOC register is a K.G. Dace of East Ham, London. This car boasts a continuous history since then with interesting history immediately post war consisting of an entry in the Bol d’Or, Concours and hill climb events. Significant Japanese history preceded a restoration by Morntane Engineering (predecessor to Ecurie Bertelli) in the mid 1980s. Bought and used extensively in Europe and then Japan by a former chair of the Japanese AMOC, Mr Shimizake before returning to Europe in 2016.
Today B3/238/S is in good condition. The engine is built around a welded cylinder block from F3/288/S another short chassis Le Mans with shell bearings, steel conrods and modern crankshaft. The rest of the car shows nice patina and is in good condition driving very well. Registered in the UK but with EU taxes already paid, this car could be registered either in the UK or the EU with no additional cost. Eligible for 1000 Miglia, Le Mans Classic and many more events.
Please contact Ecurie Bertelli for more information or to arrange a test drive.
