RE: PH Heroes: Aston Martin V8 Vantage
Discussion
Stunning cars.
I went to to the Newport Pagnell site and had a tour around the factory in '83, I was only a youth but seeing the production line and being invited to press a few buttons on a Lagonda dash (probably the last time they worked!) along with being given half a ton of posters left a lasting impression. I think I still have some of it somewhere.

For the 21st Anniversary of the V8, an Aston collector commissioned nine consecutively numbered V8 Astons - all the same colour. Top man.

The collection was broken up at the Bonham's Aston Martin auction in 2005.

I cant believe I used to like them - looks like a big Mk4 Cortina now.
couple of my mates had them in the '80s (amazing as we were all just 'working class' lads - just shows how much better off 'ordinary people' were then)
So ****ing unreliable, made British Leyland cars look good
I sometimes have a nightmare that I have bought a Range Rover, so nice to wake up.
Hope this isnt going to replace that bad dream !!!

No, I think with a car like that you should have it as your Sunday car and enjoy the whole car cossetting experience. If that means a roadside fettle between home and pub then so be it.
I saw one yesterday as it happens, not broken down but being driven considerately in traffic and looking the absolute bolleaux du chien.
