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
Not able as can't get there, or worried that you won't be able to get in to the park? If it's the latter, it's open to the public.

Well its both really and what does this mean below other then it sounds expensive by the word "Package"

The highlight of the centenary celebrations, this unique event marks a joint celebration with the Aston Martin Owners Club, the Aston Martin Heritage Trust, Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd. and of course our customers, our dealers and the many friends of our marque. The event will take place in Kensington Gardens, with the kind permission of The Royal Parks and see car displays and the largest gathering of Aston Martins in the history of the company! Various “packages” will be available for participants and guests. These will be communicated and available to book in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, please ensure you “save the date”.

That's AML speak for smoozing their customers. The 100-car line-up is being organised by AML, AMOC and the Heritage Trust. There will be cars there that have never been seen in public before, plus many you've heard of but never seen. Open to the public too.

This is the classic I would have:



DB4 Vantage GT

Just the small problem of the cost: http://www.rswilliams.co.uk/aston-martin-sales/?ca...

yikes I knew they were the rare but I wasn't expecting that much!

To be fair too, it's probably not a bad place to put your money if you can afford it.

This little beauty would be my choice:

Quick google search says they only made 70 of them out of the 1100 DB4s made, I had no idea they made so few, I bet seeing one of those is very rare

Only compared to a Vantage GT! How many of those were made? I seem to recall hearing around 15-20?

in exmouth, devon. quiet end of the sea front (admittedly near some relatively expensive apartments) looked very out of place compared to everything else parked around there
