The 1959 Le Mans-winning Aston Martin DBR1/2 (pictured above) has been immortalised in miniature in the form of a limited range of cufflinks made using metal from the actual racecar.
The exclusive range of cufflinks have been made by TMB Art Metal, and are crafted using donor metal from a small section of body panel from the original car, which was driven to victory at the legendary 24-hour endurance race in 1959. The panel was a damaged section removed during restoration work in the early 1990s.
Measuring 25mm, the hand-sculpted, hand-crafted and limited-edition cufflinks recreate the Aston Martin DBR1/2 in superb style, with everything from the driver to the raised tonneau cover and lowered fender covers picked out in precise detail (pictured below).
Some of the coolest cufflinks that a petrolhead can wear with his suit.
TMB Art Metal has made just 50 pairs of the cufflinks to be offered worldwide, and there are no plans to make any more, thereby guaranteeing their exclusivity. Each pair of cufflinks come with a certificate of authentication signed by TMB Art Metal owner and founder Christopher Bennett and, more importantly, one of the car’s 1959 drivers, American racing legend Carroll Shelby.
Each pair of cufflinks are engraved with their individual limited edition numbers and finished in sterling silver and 18-carat gold, available at £895 a pair.
