This 1960 Aston Martin DB4GT, driven by Urs and Arlette Muller, was sporting a set of black wire wheels at the Goodwood Revival instead of its usual Borrani silver set I've seen it with previously, adding a sense of menace to the car that was previously missing. It also looks like the suspension has been worked on as well, with the car sitting slightly lower than normal (although this may be the combination of wheels/offset/angle of shot that give this illusion).
I've struggled to find any information about this DB4GT, so don't know its provenance, although I think its likely to be a continuation/replica given that there were only 75 genuine DB4GT's produced, 6 of which were in the lightweight spec where aluminium was used along with some extensive drilling of solid parts and stripping of luxury items such as the radio, clock, window washer bottle and bumpers.
A number of standard DB4GT's were brought closer to the lightweight spec after they were produced, but its not clear how extensive this was in terms of fitting of aluminium panels or the drilling of the chassis members.
The DB4GT itself is shorter in the wheelbase by 5 inches compared to the regulat DB4, and features closed headlights abd the larger bonnet vent. In keeping with Aston Martins luxury ethos, the DB4GT's were still fitted with leather upholstery and wilton carpets, something I'm sure was soon replaced or removed by owners keen to further improve performance.

When entering and leaving the Silicon Valley International Auto Show in San José, California, you have to run the gauntlet known as Vendors Row. People trying to sell you all things automotive.
Sometimes a pain trying to get through, but you might also find some pretty cool stuff. At the least, you can probably find somebody who will clean your glasses for free.
The Shelby Daytona Cobra seems to have had a resurgence in recent years, with a number of continuation/replica models making an appearance on track. This is one of those examples, and one that I've only seen at Silverstone. in this shot the car was about to take to the circuit during the recent Silverstone Classic Media Day.
