It's a bit difficult to know what to say...

Perhaps Phil Glenister and his angle-grinder wielding chums fancy getting their teeth into a REAL project…

Chassis plate has new rivets...
I don't know much about this model, what is wrong/right with it?
Why does it have plastic bumpers, is that not for early 1980's vehicles?
Any eperienced people, help us understand more?

I'm no expert on this marque, but it 'should' look like this…


Also, the bumpers were only fitted to late 80's US export variants to comply with their crash regs (IIRC same reason for the MGB rubber bumper…) and there weren't any volantes. The interior seems a bit off the mark, too - missing a number of centre switches.


So it begs the question, when does an Aston Martin cease to be an Aston Martin? I know that in the aircraft restoration industry, pretty much all you need is the 'chassis plate' and everything else can be new - a bit like Trigger's broom.

I think it was telling in the restoration programme that the chap said finding Astons 'worth' restoring was next to impossible...
