A complicated story... This is the much-modified coachwork form Aston Martin DB3 coupé number 6. The car was converted to a road car and the body underwent many different iterations and modifications over the years. Eventually it was removed, and the engine went somewhere else and the remains were 'restored' into a standard open DB3 clone. I've no idea where the body ended up, or if anybody did anything with it...
