Vanquish zagato speedster -Bristol

[Japveesix]

I saw a beautiful vanquish zagato speedster in Bristol today, twice in fact. The first time I heard it long before I saw it and it was obvious it was something special. Then I saw it parked up on Whiteladies Rd later on. Failed to get a decent picture but it was basically this spec:



Lovely looking car in the metal. Does anyone know it or the owner, do they happen to be on here?

I did get this crap picture!

That's the green to have IMHO.

Green and tan seem to be in vogue for Astons now - a refreshing change from silver/black.



I-Spy the loudspeaker in the grille so you can shout at pedestrians...

I first noticed that feature on the Austin A35 cars, that race at Goodwood.





Talking of Goodwood, the annual Revival event began this morning (Fri., Sat and Sun.)
There is a continuous livestream. I find watching that, so much more interesting than F1.

When the stream begins, remember to touch top right to access Settings, then change Quality/Advanced to get the best picture resolution.

The spectators period costumes add so much to the occasion. Stepping back in time. Like being on a film set.
Is it only the British, who are capable of staging a spectacular such as this ?

Thanks for the link, I was thinking of getting one after it drove past just because of the noise alone.

Then I realised I'm about £700k short so I'm going to stick with my Skoda.

Isn't it a light, there is one on the other side too?

[CSK1]

Yes it’s a light. There’s one on each side. I think I prefer the Volante as the Speedster has no soft top and I’m not a fan of the rear, Volante looks much neater. Lovely colour combo though !
The AML dealer in Paris has one for sale.

No, that's where you put the thingy in to twist the rubber band back up.

Stereo.
Yes, you are quite correct, but truth sometimes eliminates a good joke.

We all need to have a good laugh these days.
The only amusing thing in the news recently, has been the prison escape.

Made the guards look like a bunch of lazy amateurs.
"Oh we never bother looking underneath. We know Bidfood Sid, so we can trust him. He brings our food in that lorry, every morning. No need to check that vehicle."

Same here c-b. Never really been a fan of convertibles, roadsters, volantes, speedsters or whatever one chooses to call them. I have only ever owned one. It wasn’t an Aston Martin and I sold it within a year. Imho Shooting Brake is the best looking car of the four Vanquish Zagato variants, although the coupe is very nice too. BRM.

Thanks guys

[GTRene]

Impressive rear indeed, nice.

[CSK1]

Lovely Oilit. Looks really nice. My two favourite Vanquish Zags are the Volante and Shooting Brake! Break de chasse in French!
