LM3 had its track debut in the first ever Double 12 Hour meeting at Brooklands with Augustus Bertelli and chief mechanic Jack Bezzant sharing driving duties finishing a creditable 5th. In 1930 the original body was changed by the factory, presumably because it was too light. Not much later the vehicle became the Works Team Aston Martin development and road test car, lent out to journalists to drive and report on. Before the car was sold to Peter Farquarsonin 1932, the Astin Martin was re-registered GX599 and 129R was added to the original chassis number.
