The most striking feature of the car has to be the 22 rear lights, which had a bar effect for braking across the bottom, the harder you pressed the brake the more lights lit up!!!! There was also an unusual detail in the interior as this car was a 3 seater, the rear single seat was at 90 degrees!!!!
The car caused such a stir that a second car was commissioned for a private customer in 1973. He must have really wanted one as the reported cost was £28,750, the base DBS was only £8749!!!! It recently sold at auction for just shy of £80,000.
