That steering wheel looks like a Halfords special
Must admint I wasn't that inspired when I crawled over the one at the Vantage Homecoming

Agreed! What a horrible steering wheel.

You guys must all be blind. The red steering wheel and dash panel are certainly not from the production 1-77. That's either some other AM interior or a 1-77 mule interior. Look at the wheel design...look at the layout of the vents/selector buttons. For the 1-77, the selector buttons are above the vents, not below...

Looking at the black one, then the red one.. The red one does look like a "chuck that in there for the time being" as the controls on the sides of it look like generic Ford controls.

The black one is still awful, what a horrible shape.

Would anyone have this over the new Pagani Huyara?

The black One-77 at the design centre yesterday is privately owned........or at least that was the information passed to me.


One thing for sure, the employees from AML were 1st class and passionate about what they manufacture. Granted times are lean and R&D costs are usually the first to be trimmed but for now AML has the strongest product line in their history. Cygent included;)

Halfords steering wheel in dog knob red.

WTF!

LOL Is that an official Aston colour I wonder.

"Any additional specifications Sir would like?"
"Yes, please, can you finish the steering wheel in Dog Knob Red" ..

[Neil1300R]

Still can't imagine why they would 'design' a steering wheel in that shape, designer must have worked for British Leyland when he was younger and too his design cues from this:

That Allegro interior looks amazingly good for what we oldies remember as a joke car - just rying to imagine it in dog....red

Wrong! It's the other way around.

Certainly is. Worryingly. This is the interior of the blue prototype taken over a year ago:



ETA: Although I really very much doubt they would have a customer's car out front, let alone leave it open for some random visitors to sit in.

The prototype's interior actually felt very nice IMO. Different enough from the others in the range, but felt familiar nonetheless.

As a car though, to me it's too big for the space it provides the occupants. Zero luggage space. Very long front. Wide.

And the build quality on the real ones will need to be top notch.

Nice enough car. But a mil? Hmmmmm.

[Shmee]

We're all forgetting that it's substantially more than £1m, the actual UK book price including taxes will cost you £1.8m!!

[MichaelV8V]

Those wild interiors remind me of TVR prototypes.

When you sat in that 1-77 did you feel on top of the world? That feeling you get when something is just amazing?

If that's a serious question, then, yes. Not because of the quality of the interior or the origin of the switchgear.

It was that I was sat in something I will never be able to own or drive. If it was a car I could afford to own then I guess I would be more rational/critical.
