Interesting. A 2 place DB4. Hmmm....

From the comments:

It's a car that can't be used on the road and won't be allowed in historic racing events because it's not historic.

I don't need to be able to afford it, to know it's a nonsense, an objet d'art, a trinket for the rich, like reproduction furniture.

Honestly, I can't think of one reason why this is a good idea. You can't race them, you can't drive it on the road, they'll have no patina, history or provenance, and they dilute an amazing brand and model. An oligarch gets a new toy, pointless...

Can't see the point: being track-only means there'll be limited opportunity to drive it - and they'll still be lots of money. Presumably not welcome at Goodwood either.

All in all, were I seriously in the hunt for such a car, there are, IMO, better paths to follow. Here's an excellent example:
