Well, I'm sure there is more to the story, but it appears to be someone's knock off of an Aston Martin DBR1. The wheelbase looks shorter than a DBR, but it could be just the angle of the shot.

Not an Aston Martin,It´s a special one-off automobile.

It´s from Argentina and this period too! But I have it with another completely name.
Can you prove that this is a Sport 001 and that I have a wrong information?

I've found "the picture" on the web that shows the car as "Sport 001. Sport en Villa Carlos Paz - Córdoba (Circa 1961-1963)". That's all the information they give. This website is about (strictly) Argentinian cars. That's all I have. And I think its not enough but..... I'll keep digging anyway
