Thinking again it is a DBR 1/2 depending on the engine capacity for the class it was entered for.

Interestingly it has the no 1 on it which, these days, is reserved for the reigning world champion. I had assumed that had always been the case, but as Moss never became a champion, I guess it can't have been. Wonder when that changed...

It's not a GP race but is a sports racer Moss won many so would be entitled to race number 1

It is indeed the DBR1/2 and apparently sold for about $30m a few years ago. I don't know if there was any significance about the number 1 on the car.
