Razor Blade

Standard Aston Martin parts were used on a specially built narrow chassis with quarter elliptic springs at the rear.

It was based on half a 1921 three-litre eight-cylinder Ballot engine giving a four-cylinder configuration, with twin overhead camshafts, 16 valves, and 1.5 litres capacity.

The body was built by the de Havilland Aircraft Company and is 18+1⁄2 inches (47 cm) at its widest point.

The original design was for the body to be fully enclosed, but Lionel Martin was unable to find a driver small enough to fit in it.

It was returned to the UK in the 1980s,[3] restored by the present owner and it is now in use in VSCC and other historic car events.
