Never a fan of the looks of a Rallye, bit too much of a body kit look for me.

I loved it, it was like a poor mans E30 M3
I thought it was more like a Tickford Capri
Another great car

Out of interest what was it about the AMV12V, I drove a chums DBS and it felt so dam odd, it was very heavy over the nose but the front track didn't feel like it was correct to the car, I could still feel the tyres skipping in the passenger seat as well.
The tyre skip is just due to the width and Ackerman steering geo. Basically it's compromised in low speed tight turns in order to be better everywhere else.

Was it a TDF blue rhd one by any chance?
Yes that's the bugger. I've a couple of pics somewhere, it was stunning.
I actually went in that day to see the silver F50 they had so the 250 was a nice surprise.

Yeah I’m very tempted by that one, I like the SWB more than the California but that particular SWB is a steel body car, I’d be buying it because it’s somewhat ‘affordable’ for me however I know I’d always pine for the alloy body version.

The grey one behind the Jag in this photo has the same bumpers...from a few pages ago on this thread

Apart from the DB5, what are the other cars you've either bought and hated or test drove and hated.
My Aston AMV12S, Aston Zagato, Aston Rapide, DB2/4. Pretty much all the Aston’s.
Maserati Granturismo
Mk2 Golf GTI 8v
I loved my Mk2 Golf GTi 8V....my first proper car! Replaced a Mazda 323 though so wasn’t a high bar.

Interesting what you say about Aston’s...I met a bloke who worked for one of the high end classic dealers, invited me to their “premises” and showed me round. They had a DB4 GT thy was up for close to £5mil....he said it wasn’t a great drive and much preferred the E-type as a drivers car to the Aston’s of that era.

I’ve never driven an Aston, had a real thing for the previous DBS for a while.
I had a Mazda 323F with a full TWR kit on it, I loved that car.
The DB4 GT must have been a Zagato because they’re no way near worth £5m.
Yeah the DBS is a terrible car too, proper nose heavy.
It was a DB4 GT Lightweight....if that makes more sense?
