I've got some memories from owning the Astons that will last forever ... It was also a pleasure to own an Aston and I count myself very lucky to not only have owned two but also to have made some lasting friendships.
Welcome to MY world Seemon !!!! wink

And Cockers !!!!

Truly wonderful experience....I only continue to post here because I met such great people on the road (Robbo, you missed out !!)

My ambition - along with your's, no doubt - is to be selfish once again in the future yes

Yes that's right Rodders was Dave but Trigger was Trigger who had the same broom for 20 years mind you it had quite a few new heads and handles

blacked out the grille, only did plasti-dip but will have satin black powder coat done. Will also do the exhaust tips at the same time.

BUT - I'm thinking about getting the 6-slat grille on later vantages.

Wings and wheels today, a great drive down the A272 and then A285 to Goodwood for a flying formation training in Spitfire TR9's with the Boultbee guys. Fab weather on the south coast, who said dreams don't come true???

Two British icons of engineering.
