Try and get yourself along to the Bonhams auction at Newport Pagnell. Saturday May 18th. It's a good day. I took the silver one outside Sunnyside there.
That looks like it should be good, some good lots up for saleEdited by killingjoker on Thursday 25th April 15:21

I don't think you'll be disappointed! Though mostly modern ones, DB7 and newer. Can't move for them round Victoria and west end.
I have walked around Mayfair, Knightsbridge and some of Victoria and seen some AM all around, Mostly DB7s and Vantages etc but the cars I want to see is the older models like the DB5 etc but I always like seeing one of the old model Vanquishes I very much prefer them over the new modelmichael243 said:

Get yourself to the Goodwood Revival meeting in September then. You won't even have to buy an entry ticket. Walking around the pre-1973 car park should be enough for you.michael243 said:

Or keep an eye out for AMOC concours events. The Gaydon boys always say that the AMOC is full of older chaps with older cars and while I'm not sure the chaps are older you do get a much larger representation of Newport Pagnell and Feltham cars at these events. Kensington Palace and Greenwich should be cracking! RichB said:

That sounds like a good event but surely you need to be a AM owner to attend?michael243 said:
That is a good idea but I would of thought you would need a ticket just to see the carpark ?
Nope. And if you're driving, you can park in another part of the car park (for free) and then walk over to the 'special' bit.And the Revival Meeting has grown so much that there is a whole load of stuff (funfair, stalls and the Bonhams Auction tent, for starters) outside of the main bit. Depending on how dedicated a car nut you are, there is nearly enough there to merit a trip on it's own, without actually going into the main event.

in fact no, you only need a ticket to enter the track.michael243 said:

Plenty of older cars at Bonhams from DB4 upwards, some good stuff normally turns up in the car park over at Sunnyside, and check out the car park round to the lefthand side of it too. Plus, there are loads of Aston's parked around the local side roads etc. Don't forget your camera.
Here's a couple of Vanquish's for you that were parked there as well. (Got some better pics somewhere but am not at home at the mo.)

Sounds like a good day out I will look into it thanks And the Revival Meeting has grown so much that there is a whole load of stuff (funfair, stalls and the Bonhams Auction tent, for starters) outside of the main bit.

Auction at NP is a must. And if you like DB5s, so is the AMOC concours in Grreenwich the day after - special gathering to celebrate 50 years. Also, if you like all things Aston, there is a very special, never-to-be-repeated line-up at Kensington Palace on 21st July.
I hope to attend at least one of those events and yeah I would so love to be able to see the line up at Kensington Palace Gardens but wont be able to get in michael243 said:
How the hell did you find this? Thanks, its great to know more about this Legendary car.
I simply entered the registration number into Google.Should we be frightened by the amount of data that Google are collecting?
A man with a small moustache asked for data, when he went to Holland, sixty years ago. Many people were then rounded up, and never seen again.

I wanted to do both of those but family commitments mean it's NP only for me this year. Last year was an excellent weekender with NP Sat & AMOC at Waddesdon the next day. My little son loves Aston's and both days events were a surprise for him to say the least. killingjoker said:

I have to rely on a lift to get there, I doubt I be able to attend either but I am hopeful! Gassing Station | Aston Martin | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
