This will be my car to replace my M3, mine is December build which has building allocation slot number 008 so mine will be one of the first about hopefully! Ordered with:
Onyx black exterior,

Unbelievable car, however the fact that it literally broke down once every month and had to be transported back to Stratstones (awful dealerships) where they kept it for a week at a time did take the ...
4WD, turbo charged, enough torque to pull a tree down (I know cos I've done that), and yes, it is sort of an Aston - lookup David Brown on wikipedia :-)
1958 Aston Martin DB 2-4 Mark III (known simply as the DB Mark III) was the last of the Feltham Astons before construction moved to Newport Pagnell. The DB Mark III with it's 3ltr twin OHC straight si...
Bought as a project in one piece with no MoT and sold in a zillion pieces ten years later for five times as much. A divorce got in the way, if you're wondering. The first owner - David Hampshire, gent...
Live the dream. Drive like Connery. Just dont expect it to handle like anything modern.
And dont expect decent braking either !
Great car none the less.
THE JOURNEY OF RESTORATION...My advice if your gonna buy one be prepared for the worst. Buy cheap and invest in good restoration, the mid way good looking cars are wolves in sheeps clothing. I am up ...
I want another one, please. No other car - not even my present one - has grabbed more attention - I was even hauled out of a posh restaurant in France to dispel the crowd that gathered around it.
OAY 555F is a full lightweight racing car as from 1996 when it was prepared as a racer by my company It has been racing regularly with AMOC ever since.
It has very special history for me and Mrs Pits. Great fun to drive, a proper 2+2 unlike many modern cars, and still takes the breath away every time I look at it.
Alas mind-boggling restoration co...
What a great car! I bought the 3.2 model because i prefer the lines of the body, and when that supercharger whine kicks in, so addictive! It had it's problems, such as air con & suspension, but that w...
A joy to drive. Everyone smiles and lets you out at junctions (stark contrast to the Boxster). Sold it to a colleague as it was a lot of money sitting on the driveway only being driven every weekend o...
This car was purchased as a Cat C.
It is going to be used for trackdays.
No mechanical or chassis damage.
The price of parts is such that body damage is terminal for the car.
Bonnet is over ...
Good car, great feeling but under it all you knew it was just a rehashed Jag. Fell to peices around me on longer journeys. A big mistake but now make a very solid used buy
Respectable grunt in a straight line but I'm having trouble with corners at the moment. Tracking, caster, camber & tyres will sort it I hope.
NOW SORTED~but Osselli disappointingly sent it back with ...
My first Aston and definitely not my last! She may be expensive to run and maintain, but when she drops two gears and that V12 raors, it's worth every penny!
Beautiful car, easy to drive, doesn't feel like it wants to race when you're driving slowly around town, but in full welly mode it goes!!!
Feels a bit too hand-made and fragile though. Dying to tr...
Most recent Aston aquisition and the first purchased as a used car. Lots of unusual bits from the colour (Canne di Fucile) to the Works Service sat nav upgrade - a £6000 option in 2001 so no wonder it...
Fantastic Luxury sports, Makes you feel like a Sir or a Lord.
A little to slow for my liking especially after driving my Ferrari and Porche 993 Turbo, But then what do you expect it was never built f...
Superb car, reasonable running costs compared to V12. Has sports exhaust and manual gearbox, so a proper sports car to drive. This car is for sale. Full AM History and 69300 miles two owners. This car...
Absolutely beautiful car that I was afraid to drive anywhere.
Let me down 3 times on long journeys (alarm fault)
Ford switch gear unreliable.
Still proud to have owned but slower than the Audi S4 &...
my first Aston.....great to look at but awfull gear box.....very dated interior and mostly from the ford parts bin.....still it was an Aston and I made a £500 profit on it
Brilliant beautiful classic by Ian Cullam.
Having owned a blown MG TC/ MGB/ TR2&3/ various Alfas/ Range Rovers/ Volvos/ Saabs and a Ferrari308, this Aston, with only 31k on the clock, is the one that...
Huge spec car with sports exhaust, AM 19" wheels and everything else. Sounds wonderful, goes like hell and is vastly superior to the 4.2 XKR is replaced.
Yes but only if you can put up with the snide comments from AMOC owners who regard this model - the one that saved the company remember - as a Jag.
Cheaper to run than the Vantage, get a sports exhau...
My dad bought this new from Aston Martin. I bought it off him when he attempted to trade it in for a Mercedes 350 SL! Fantastic car, v low mileage and so easy to drive. Has been described by Aston M...
What a thrill! Fabulous acceleration and grips the road like it is glued down. Looks best with the hood down and the tonneau on although the tonneau is a bit fiddly to get on. Surprisingly we can a...
The best DB7. The engine, brakes and some suspension componentry of the DB9 (meaning 450BHP, NOT 435BHP...) So much faster and 'set' on the road than the Vantage.
Bought to collect, HUGE provenance...
Pays for itself in free parking at hotels and casinos. The engine is a gem, sounds amazing, the car looks stunning, doesn't get any negative attention (like Fezzas) and the manual gearbox is easy to ...
Ive just had a Larini exhaust fitted, I am really happy with the amazing sound and the increased performance, it adds a new dimension to driving my car again!
A beautiful car, wonderful noise, immense power that adapts well to cruising and hard driving
But...rust is an endemic issue where the steel and aluminium panels meet, and glad to have the extended...
Sport Pack really does make it a more pleasurable option than the standard car - sharper on turn in and the ride is actually enhanced too. Sounds lovely, looks lovely, and actually great value!
+fantastic looking car
-everything else
why does the motoring press not tell the truth about astons!
its a shame but they are badly made not that quick and very unreliable
A total disgrace, gorgeous to look at but its best just looked at. In the 18 month I woned the car it spent 9 months with the dealer. Later resulted in me taking the dealer to court and winning over £...
I had the first version of the DB9 and there was something wrong with the engine management software. When you put your foot down there was a lag and then the car shot off unexpectedly - quite frankl...
A 2005 model. I simply love it! Bought it in May 2006. Sporting full polished HRE 847Rs in the picture. Just got it repainted to brush alluminium center with polished lip.
Highly modifed by DMS, Chiltern and Nicholas Mee.
Re-map, race cats, SuperSports exhaust. H&R springs, spacers, full geo, SPorts Pack wheels and Ti nuts. Seriously quick DB9!
Dad decided to purchase something which he had always lusted after - an Aston Martin droptop.
Over four years of happy ownership, covering some 16,000 miles, he's certainly enjoyed the car when the w...
I'm really really enjoying this car. Had it about 2 months, fuse 22 pulled but a Tubi is almost certainly going to be fitted soon! Very easy to drive but when you put your foot down it takes off like....
The slow Aston as it was auto , just had to have one . Owned it for 18 months then had 10 secs of lustful pleasure with ex wife . She got pregnant , car got sold !!
its like owning a piece of art , fantastic pedigree,so much history and tecnology all rolled into a machine thats will make you feel at home on a track day,driving through tuscanny or pulling into a 1...
Bought it at an auction in Belgium and then drove it home. Fantastic machine but every year is pushing me one step closer to bankruptcy. The suspension and steering have been rebuilt and uprated h...
Had a few Astons , 1st one was Lonnie Donnigans BD6 Vantage 1996 All black with Cream Interior , Many have followed on , 635 Csi , RX7 T II , TVR S3,Griff 500, DB7 Vaoante, XKR DH,Bentley CGT , Vanqui...
What have I bought? It's an early Christmas present. Think living in the US for three years has going to my head.
9 MPG .... oooohh.
Got it on ebay. Sold it for more than I paid for it, went in ...
Pentland GREEN absolutely stunning to look at, but I found it lacking visibility and not that special inside the cockpit. That ancient gearbox doesn't belong in it.
After three TVR's and a Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster, the V12 was a 'must do'. Its been sensational so far. Great drive, sound, power, torque. Its the best car I have ever owned...by a long sho...
Wonderful, beautiful and very fast. Exquisite detailing and build quality. Everything I'd hoped it would be and more. A reminder of how special 12 cylinders can be. I doubt I will ever use the stereo....
I've wanted one of these for ages but everybodys advice was "don't". They may well be proved right but so far I haven't stopped grinning. The MPG mans the car probably merits a Kyoto treaty all of its...
Great car, last of the handbuilts. Expensive to maintain and run though. Don't let anyone tell you you can run these cars on a budget, you can't!
It's worth it just to revel in the handbuilt aura ...
picked up 12th May 2006.
Only kept for about 9 months as chopped it in for a DB9. Absolutely no probs during ownership. Never felt that fast but enjoyed driving it and the positive reactions from oth...
Great fun GT cruiser. Seats 4 on short trips. Around the track the chassis is surprisingly excellent given the weight. The power and grip are very good with the lower profiles.
I bought this car in 2009. It had previously been racing in the Asia Cup series in 2007/2008 under the previous ownership. I have raced it with AMOC (GT4 challenge in 2010) ever since.
Dream of owning one of these recently realised. The car is actually the first Series IV V8 off the production line as confirmed by the chassis number and factory build sheet. The car was registered ...
Classic lines, beautiful hand-built aluminium body, thrilling engine note, extremely expensive to run!
She's currently undergoing extensive maintenance program to get her ready for summer, includi...
First ever 90's V8 Coupe (updated Virage) ex motor show car owned by Aston Martin until 2002 Looks like a Vantage without the bodykit ! not as fast though .....
Chichester Blue, Cream connolly leather
Fantastic car,never failed to draw attention,from both young and old!
Must admit she did like a drink though! Dont think i ever got more than 13mpg,£100 just ...
looks like a proper piece of kit but only time will tell if its the real deal!!!!!bloody long wait list !was on order till i drove one and will give it a miss !!!!!
I would like to mention here that this car is completely stock and in line with government regulations. No modifications have been made or will be made at BR to any of it anywhere at all! I promise.
The sexiest car ever as far as I'm concerned... but was a mistake to buy it (but how was I to know various circumstances including the bottom falling out of the financial market and so the car's resi...
lovely all round sportscar with character, surprisingly reasonable to run, reliable and practical
wont change it except for another, newer version with the 4.7 engine, does everything I want
Wow ... automotive porn.
Looks great, sounds fab, but is a little short changed in the performance & ergonmics depts.
But the looks n sounds go someway to forgiving these shortcomings.
(edit:...
One of the best sounding cars I have driven. Had a play with some superbikes and I won! A lovely car just far too expensive to run.
This was a wealthy firends car he gave to me for a long weekend! ...
The best looking car on the road? I think so! A fantastic, if idiosyncratic machine.

Looks, both inside and out. Sound. Fast and handles well. A real luxury feel to the interior. Surprisingly...
I really love this car. It feels grown-up yet makes the most awesome sound imaginable. It’s a gorgeous shape and makes you feel special every time you get into it. Early days and not had the chance to...
Quite possibly the most desirable motor car in the world!
I believe a price increase would retain the exclusivity factor, after my purchase of course.

My AMV8 is Mercury Silver with duo-tone leather interior (Obsidian Black and Chancellor Red) with thick red stitching, black carpets, and red brake calipers.
Get it in Silver they said, and keep the interior fairly plain - it'll help with the resale value.
Yeah right. This car's for me, not the next owner. So it's RED, bright RED, with RED leather and ...
The V8 is the reason I am "Grinning". Used every day and most days I manage a trip via a tunnel or two. Well, you have to really.
Squeaky brakes and cold misaligned belt but who cares when it looks...
Lovely car, really stunning design and a pleasure to drive.
Wouldn't recommend one based on running costs but they do look the part.
Get a 4.7 if you can.
Had a manual version, but I much prefer the sportshift paddle gear change. The manual is still a tremendous car, but for my driving having 2 pedals is better!
Not ballistic quick like some of the latest motors, but don't let anyone tell you they are slow.
Moreover, these are such "together" cars. Everything compliments everything else about the car and...
Got a great deal on this immaculate example when a mate decided he wanted/needed a new car.

Great road presence, a car that makes people stop and stare.
But 15k miles in and I was bored of it and ready for a change. Certainly a marque I'll revisit one day.
Good: The noise, oh the noise. Wonderful thing to see outside when you open the curtains on a sunny morning. Quick ish. Nice interior.
Bad: Dealer was pretty terrible. Kept on breaking down - elect...
The V8 Vantage is an amazing car to drive; a quick dab of the right foot tells you all you need to know, even more so with the exhaust valves opened up to hear the fine V8 tune.
It's very much a 'b...
Looks great, sounds great, but no torque at all, terrible low down acceleration as a result, very poor reliability and lost £1350 per month in depreciation.
