If you're well-off your interest might have been piqued a few weeks ago by Evanta's 1:1 scale model of the Le Mans-winning Aston Martin DBR1/2. The AirFix-like art work, 6.3 metres (20.8 feet) long, 3.4 metres (11.3 feet) high and weighing over 0.45 metric tonnes (half a ton), will be auctioned during the Goodwood Revival Weekend with pre-sale estimates as high as £30,000 ($47,166 CAD).
If you're wealthy – like Goldman Sachs has you on speed dial, wealthy – you might be interested in the real thing and not the model. Talacrest, a British concern that focuses on classic Ferraris, is selling the genuine DBR1/2 on the open market and asking £20 million ($31,444,000 CAD).
