That's cool.

Best not try the back seats if you're tall though... smile

looks like a parcel shelf rather than back seats ?

but unfortunately no hood :-(

Otherwise Id say the estimate was very very low, but even with the lack of hood options, estimate still looks conservative

I didn't realise it didn't have a roof......
In that case revised my estimate to 5 pence...

It's (reasonably) widely acknowledged both that the vehicle is stated to have a roof and that it has never been seen....

One suggestion is that there is both a removable hardtop and an optional soft top stored in the boot whilst another is that there is a folding canvas roof - suspicion is that none were ever completed but who knows......

I looked at this car back in 2009 when it was for sale at AM New England. Could have bought it for $350K. Wish I had had the money and bought the car...

Fabulous looking Aston. Was this a concept or just a one off. Wonder why it didn't make it to production? Anyone know?

wow !

mind you, there are a lot of rare/classic cars that have more than doubled in the last 5 years

can you confirm the roof options were never actually made ?

Was a show car. They even took deposits for build slots when it was at Geneva. Factory then got cold feet about selling enough of them, so caned the project. So yes it is a one off. As I understand it there is no roof of any sort. Which has never put me off coverting it. Just need the lottery win at the weekend!

Wouldn't it be cheaper to convert an existing Vanquish?

No.
It's not just a Vanquish with the roof cut off. If you did that you end up with ....
