Matchbox 19c; Aston Martin DBR5 Racing Car; Metallic Green, Wire Wheels, RN5
The Aston Martin DBR5 was added to the range in 1962 and was deleted in
1965. Interestingly the car on which it was based was a complete failure
and was the cause of Aston Martin pulling out of Formula 1 racing. Only
two cars were made in 1960 and scrapped in 1961, a year before Matchbox
released the model.
The Matchbox car is always metallic green with wire wheels and can have
a white or grey driver figure. The racing number can be 3, 5, 19, 41 or
52. Ramsay puts 19 as the lowest value and 3 as the highest. |
