Wow what a car! Great job

Saw them at Le Mans and took a few pics (from the Porsche hospitality building - Aston please take note! All that was needed to gain free access was a Porsche ignition key).

Must have been an awesome experience for the new owners!

Thats excellent new that Porsche gave their customers such a good view of Aston Martin customers collecting their cars. Bravo

[peteA]

Ha, yes Simon, us Aston chaps were full of bravado and optimism at that point...and then err...not so much...🙁

Not sure these guys would agree...

Slight topic creep here; Whilst at the Hotel de France, I managed to grab a quick word with AP re the DBX. September we should see the car in full detail as intended to go forward into production. Delivery of the first cars June next year.

To be more specific, September is the private customer viewings (for those with deposits down etc). December is the public/press reveal

I really hope those recent pics in black/red camo do not do it justice...

I have every confidence that the final reveal will trigger a global rush to get one on order,,, I'll eat my hat in heaven if it doesn't (yes, the Moss jobbie),,,, my deposit is already in.

PS: My only reservation is that I'd prefer the Aston Martin V12 to the AMG V8,,,,, I might wait.

Nope, 'Lady Moss' still with Cambridge. She'll move from there to Works on the 4th, there to have those subtle mods we talked about Rob. Have you collected your precious piece of AML history yet?

This was my view.

After an amazing handover in Le Mans, she’s finally home....

[MO55]

Andy it was great to see you there to witness the grid hand over,,, yes,,, the race itself the BoP guys spiked our guns,,, look forward to Silverstone and a fair for all race.

Rob, b-e-a-u-t-i-ful, they really do look like they're doing 100mph just standing there!

Absolutely stunning. Hope you enjoy every mile

Le Mans 1959 - Thought I'd share this snap shot of a pre race practice session. Whilst its a pity its cropped in the way it is, nevertheless, for so many reasons, it is priceless.

[BlackV8]
