Hopefully without wanting to get into the whole debate about Aston prostituting their badge in return for a quick buck flogging Toyotas for three times what they're worth, I wondered, has anyone actually seen one of these things on the road or in a car park somewhere looking like it's actually in private ownership?

I know Stirling Moss claims to have bought one but I doubt anyone genuinely believes that was anything other than a publicity stunt.

Just curious as to whether anyone had actually really honestly bought one.

Theres loads in Los Angeles apparently.

I've seen one in Birmingham. A rather tasty looking lady was driving one, but had a fella in a suit with her in the car. Could only imagine she was taking the car for a test drive.

I personally have seen a rather tasteful yellow subject in an Aston garage, and my brother seen one on the actual road

Yup, I saw one heading in to Manchester last week. Old English White colour. It was a cygnet... not a Toyota.. Their white is much more brash... and of course it had the Grille.

Saw a photo of Sterling Moss in one but that's about as close as I've got.

Yes, I've seen one. Must have been a demonstrator as I can't believe anyone would be daft enough to buy the car!

Yep, in Honiton.

Hmmm... 13 out of the entire PH collective so far.

Well that's only 13 too many I suppose, could be worse.
