Marsh Plant Aston Martin Vantage

[Gregor Marshall]

Hi Graeme - yes, I can see your car in the background and congrats for the championship win.
There were some real characters in the intermarque, was a really friendly championship and there was some good fun in the bars afterwards!!

This guy was never gonna do anything with it - what a waste.

Mind not really much you could ever run it in.

Repair it and put it on the road

This was a good 2-3 years ago but if i remember rightly i think in a lead battle going down pilgrims drop on the brands hatch GP circuit it went off, can't remember why, whether it was contact or what just that the car wasn't to well after!

p.s: the car was flying just before that

[wildman0609]

i was told he went off on someone else's oil.

[chevronb37]

Think that was out at AMOC at Donington last weekend wasn't it?

Yep, was out in the intermarque. Don't think it finished that high up as it rained when we're all in the assembly area, and everyone started on dry setups. The white Aston was one that wasn't that quick in the wet.

[Gregor Marshall]

If the accident at Brands then it bent the chassis and cost a lot to repair and once it was repaired I think it got sold by a liquidation company from an artilce in the back of C&SC or Motor Sport, can't remember which now (might even have been Octane thinking about) but it was badly advertised anyway!!
I did have an e-mail from the new owner(s) about 3 months ago...

Resurrecting an old thread. It was great to see the blue Marsh Plant Aston in AMOC Intermarque last year at Silverstone. Hope it's back this year for some more rounds. A very special car in a prestigious championship steeped in history. Next rounds are Oulton then Silverstone GP on the British GT programme. Check out the AMOC racing website to see if your car is eligible: sports cars and GTs up to 1995.

You'll be seeing one of the Marsh Plant Astons out in the CSCC Special Saloons and Modsports later in the season.

[williamp]

which one? The DB4, the V8 or the really, really, really great V8??

[steeviegeebies]

Great! Which car Dave? The big blue V8? Which driver?

[99hjhm]

Both the V8's are now owned by David Beatty who raced the one at Silverstone in the AMOC Intermarque last year. Believe he bought the less spec'd car and then the more modified car (Ex- Anthony Reid) car almost as spares, after it appeared for sale along with the collection of Marsh Plant DB7's at the Aston Martin Bonhams auction in May 2015.

This is the later built but less modified car...

The last Marsh DB4 was sold to Romance of Rust in London via Runnymede Motor Company and now belongs to long time Aston racer Tarek Mahmoud, might now be painted green but have not seen it.

[chevronb37]

I assume the more modified of the V8s was fixed after Anthony Reid clobbered the Goodwood flint wall? I actually felt physically sick watching that, having been geeking all over it in the collection area just half an hour earlier (see below).

[Fishy Dave]

That's the one, pretty sure we'll see Evo4 coming out at Donington.
