Perhaps the most iconic moment in the company’s history was Colin McRae’s victory on the RAC Rally in 1995, making him Britain’s first World Rally Champion and bringing Subaru the first of three consecutive manufacturers’ titles. Prodrive’s success in rallying is mirrored by their success in circuit racing, a discipline they started in 1987 by running BMW’s entry in the British Touring Car Championship. Since 2005 Prodrive have successfully been running the Aston Martin Racing programme, which is where the lots we have here come into the story. During the production of the V8 Vantage in GT2, GT3 and GT4 format, Prodrive investigated the suitability of using the Vantage in rallying and four cars were built. The two cars we have on offer here, which rather excitingly are offered as one Lot including the spares package, are two of those four cars and both were prepared and run by David Appleby Engineering for our vendor, as the ultimate club rally cars with little regard to cost. Our vendor has enjoyed the thrill on offer with the Vantage Rally GT cars for many years and has had great success along the way. Unfortunately, due to ill health within his family, the time has come to move these cars onto a new home. Both cars, and the significant spares package, are therefore coming to auction as one Lot and are presented to auction ‘as is’. These are very special motor cars and full details of the build, components and specification would run to several pages and there is simply not enough space here to do them justice so we encourage any interested parties to come to the auction to see the cars for themselves, or, call the office for more detailed information. However, below is a short summary: RAL 7Y is a complete car although it must be noted it has not competed for a number of years so interested parties will, therefore, need to factor in currency and legality on some parts such as seat, extinguisher, belts etc. The car boasts a Hewland sequential 6-speed gearbox, upgraded Prodrive WRC brakes, Rose-jointed suspension with Extec dampers, an uprated engine with many steel parts (reported circa 420bhp at the wheels), GEMS dash, floor-mounted pedal box, Peltor intercom and a trip computer. OU06 ETJ is presented to auction needing completion LOT 213 Estimate: £90,000 - £110,000 A pair of Aston Martin Vantage Rally GT Cars and Spares Package More Images Lot 213 Bid On Lot 213
