As that time is approaching I’m thinking of getting the Mrs a model of her car, but struggling to find anything. She has the new Vantage in zaphyr blue. Does anyone know of a stockist?

Or another other nice ideas for AM related gifts?

I bought a model of mine from Welly, NEX model range. The quality was good and the price too.

Just not sure if they have the new Vantage in blue, but search around.

Closest I can find is in Ming Blue, which I appreciate isn't really the same, but...

Thanks!

I’m also considering some bespoke wall art of some kind. Seen loads at shows but never picked up details. Has anyone created something unique as wall art?

I have a billet milled front end cover from an Aston Martin V12 Le Man's race car, fitted with a clock in the centre. You can see the milling in the light, it's a very rare part and will grace my newly refurbished garage wall.

I recently came across this artwork (linked below). It looks to be very nice and I understand he can essentially customize it for any car. I am seriously thinking about a version for my own car but the shipping costs to Canada are somewhat prohibitive.

Looks great.

I am guessing DBR9, because the Le Mans Vantage cars were V8.
Very lucky to obtain. Do you perhaps have a friend at Prodrive?

It was a gift from my son, he has many connections within the race industry.
