Likewise, I like racing cars open or closed. For me the DB3S would be my dream car but then there was the DP21x cars and of course the Zagato DBs 1VEV & 2VEV plus the DB4GTs so there are some wonderful coupe Aston racers but like you say the 50s was their hay-days with the DB3S and DBR1/2 cars...
The DB3S is a glorious machine. I remember attending my first AMOC meeting as a car-besotted 8 year old with several competing and Gerry Marshall in the Marsh Plant V8. I've been an Aston fan ever since! I suppose the GT cars are naturally with roof and the current GT1-4 line-up reflects that heritage well. I'm not fussed which direction they follow so long as we have a full works effort with a sonourous V12 to follow.

Isn't the open car to be a V8 though (although that's more traditionally Aston too, so probably of no concern to most smile )
