What´s it? Complete answer please!
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.

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
I've found a Chat where they talk about this car. Some guy wrote that
This is the "Manera Special" built at Rafaela.

Chassis: Mercedes Benz 170

José Fanta made assembly and alignment of the chassis.
Sanchez Brothers built the bodywork.

and it was Aston Martin DB R 1 "reproduction"
