Dont worry. Any car built before 1978 didnt get them either. A marketing gimmick thought up by one of the bosses of the time, Alan Curtis
You mean that you aren't able to phone the inspector in question and personally tell him that he's screwed up? This 'gimmick' could have so back-fired.

Mr Q, would you really buy a car with the first name 'Mick' on it ??They could have at least put 'Michael'.
I mean if one of our members was called Mick Gould he would certainly lose any alleged credibility.
Cue Georgeous H
I think they do a visual inspection to ensure every task has been completed properly and everthing fits. I believe they also perform the test drive. Obvioulsy the inspector could not detect and internatl engine or transmisson issue. But any fit/finish or drivability issues should be caught by them.

My DB9
Looks like 'Rob' was sacked John.......any issues with the DB9?ETA - As Rob only seems to have appeared on one plaque, the above comment was made tongue in cheek and isn't based on any factual information. Just thought I'd clear that up

The ultimate in Aston snobbery there Jockers. Maybe he was christened Mick? Or just prefers it.They could have at least put 'Michael'.

Mick Freeman, 2009 Vantage. I wonder if it would be usefull to track the inspector to cars that had issues. So far mine hasno had any!
With my 2007 Vantage, it was Martyn Askill. During a factory Tour last year, I inquired if he still worked there, as I was ready to 'DROP KICK' him for the inept inspection he performed on my car !!!!

But - at least on the one 6.2 V8 lump I've ever seen - the signature is in "handwritten script" and the handwriting would put an NHS prescription pad signature to shame! So you never know whether is was Siegfried or Brunhilde who built the engine...Gassing Station | Aston Martin | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
