Following on from a previous topic. If you could have three Aston Martins in the garage what would you choose.

I’ll start
My V12 Vantage because it is raw and beautiful.
Vanquish S because it is the last of a breed and absolutely stunning.
DB5 because that is where my love of the marque started watching James Bond.

I did consider a DB7 Vantage because they are really starting to look great as they age.

On the basis that every three car garage has to cover everyday, high days and holidays, and something esoteric:

DBX (I've just got back from a preview at AM Park Lane, and yes please)
V12VS (because I have one, and I love it)
Valkyrie (who wouldn't want a car designed by Adrian Newey?)

It would be nice to have space for a DB5, but that has to compete for the esoteric slot. And the Valkyrie is just: wow.

Different angle from me and picking from the each of the most traditional engine configurations available, however reasonably specific!

Straight 6 - DB4 GT Zagato 1 VEV
V8 - V8 Vantage V600 Le Mans no.37
V12 - this is where it becomes a moveable feast: currently it would be a Rapide AMR

Only three? Hmmph!

I'd have to pick the following:

• DB2/4 Mk. III

• DB5

• DB11

Darn, I meant to add a prewar Ulster. But it's too late now, since I couldn't bear to drop out any of the others!

This is a fun question, and no doubt somewhat ridiculous, so many terrific cars to choose from, it`s hard to go wrong, but after dueful consideration and as dreams are free... as are comments on Pistonheads!

DB4 GT
GT8 Vantage
Vanquish Vision

A stunning bit of old school, rorty tom foolery packaged in the care-free 1960`s, the pinnacle of the VH architecture V8 Vantage range, and a slice of the future with whatever it brings, but what a phenomenal looking thing...

Yikes:

DB6 (with webasto roof)
Bulldog (working and restored - not as it was last time I saw it)
Cygnet (Because whether you like it or not - it's practical for local commutes etc)

Ooooh great question, got me thinking quite a bit this morning!

V12 Vantage S (with the dog leg manual & lightweight seats in China grey with the yellow accents)

V600 (again manual but in racing in Green)

And DB5 (In silver birch for the obvious James Bond connection - isn’t that where most peoples Aston love started from?!)

My DB9
A V8 Oscar India in Cumberland Grey
A Silver Birch DB5.

That was easy.

I'd also like a Lagonda Rapide, which should be fine because it's a Lagonda, not an Aston :-D
