Yes a bulldog, very late 70s prototype. It doesn't look very pretty compared with modern cars (or the DB cars of the 50's/60s) but I guess curves and straight lines come in and out of fashion and the Bulldog was "of its time". And also allegedly very very fast (192mph!)

I just thought the photo section was a bit quiet at the moment

Probably ought to go in the non-black/grey/silver thread too.

Indeed and Aston Martin's only mid engined car.
I'm not sure what its best angle is but as has been said "not pretty"! I guess it was the 1980s wedge period. Designers either got it spot on, e.g. Lotus Esprit, or failed miserably, I think this is somewhere in the middle

As we have some older cars showing again, here's a more recent one of mine.

That's lovely. Which green is it?

How about Shiny Black?????

Sage green, probably not the best to photograph it against grass!

Lovely, and clearly very good off-road

Was out photographing this one yesterday, haven't really got anywhere to share it so thought I'd drop it in here. Never thought much of them when they came out but looking at it now I don't think there's a better proportioned car and it's such a pleasure to drive.

Would say this is absolutely the right place for it and both the car and the photo are crackers...

Totally agree, just wish I could take photographs of that quality.
