This may have been covered before, but if not...

Amazon was trying to get me to buy a 'DB5 replica experience' so I did some digging...

Apart from where the bodywork meets the radiator grille the outside looks quite good to my untrained eyes, but it all goes horribly wrong when you look inside!

It's awful - absolutely awful. Just look at the steering wheel.
Well, the inside is a Honda S2000... yer pays yer money and takes yer choice...!

Someone bought me one of those supercar driving day things a few years back and there was one of these there. Multiple men dressed in black tie queuing up to drive it and have their photo taken. I did ask one of the organisers what it was based on, and was the same, S2000.
That will be the 'experience' I saw on Amazon. In fact if you google 'db5 replica trackdays' you'll see it's all over the place.

Aston replicas are clearly capable of becoming a thing. Here’s a more budget-friendly option:

Apart from a Ford-style grille I cant see anything remotely Aston-ish about that.
