Italian design at its best,just looking at it brings a smile.
Sleek,sexy GT,evocative of the 60's.
I can see myself driving to Forte dei Marmi,stopping off for a cuppacino and biscotti,admiring le ragazze.

OMG, beauty, elegance and exclusivity in one amazing bundle.
Tony Hall would not know what to do with the fanny asking for a ride
If we clubbed together Alvin, we could go for a joint bid and a celebratory cappuccino/biscotti in Montalcino

Maybe I need to sell a couple of organs too to reach the equity needed

[jonby]

I'm not sure it's old enough to yet get huge money ? Surely will have a high reserve though and if so, suspect it might not sell

Not really sure why the owner would be selling so quickly...

[bomberh]

I didn't think I would hear me saying this, but I actually like that.

Value is interesting, is it what would someone pay for it...?
Peter Read of California is the person who commissioned it for the Centenary AM year and the owner (he's a major car collector):

It's value is indeed, what someone would pay for it, but at auction, with the added necessity of a second person who pushes it up to what the first is prepared to pay by bidding against them. Obviously before it hits reserve, that second person might be the auctioneer

Not for me, guys. An ugly car produced by a 70s father and an 80s mother

[paddy328]

Im not fan either. It looks too much like an old 60's yank tank.

[Salterns]

Sorry not my cup of tea either. Looks dated and odd, bordering on the pug ugly. Some people would buy a turd if it had a Zagato plate attached to it.

Same, I think its pretty bleh to look at. That brown interior finishes it off for me.

You lot wouldn't recognise class if it kicked you up the bum,shame on you.
This car has an elegant,timeless style that epitomises Aston Martin.

Seldom do I agree, but in this case two thumbs up.

Aston have made a couple of absolute mingers over their time (all in my opinion of course)

Did you notice the pictures of numerous men, along the bottom of the webpage?
I am using a small tablet, but I think there is just one lady amongst that group.
Hope they don't ask her to make the tea.

Interior looks lovely, pretty much standard DB9/Vanatge affair.

Exterior does nothing for me at all, looks a bit bland IMO. Fair to say don't think I'll be putting a bid in.

A minger...are you mad !
A masterpiece......admittedly the electronics were a bit suspect ...the form however is superb.
What road presence !
Take that car anywhere and it will cause people to squeal with delight and gasp with admiration.
P.S. Clock the number plate and you will see that even Our Lord owned one.
