Fallen for a DB11

[Jemacd]

When the 11 came out I was nonplussed. The looks didn't do it for me on web images and print. Today I met one in person and erm..."feelings" started...! Test drive arranged for Saturday in Reading. I'd have to sell my 2006 DB9 Volante first but...dammit...I think I've got the bug. Just needed a place to let that out. Thanks for listening...(Oh and if anyone has had any experience with Aaron at HR OWEN lemme know. Seems like a good guy and as knowledgeable as one might expect).

AM Newcastle have a very striking blue DB11 in.
I think they need a colour rather than grey

Wheels do nowt for me.

Red embroidered headrest is the final nail in the coffin .

Apart from that it's alright.

Interestingly the wheels were the first thing I loved....and the headrest really sold it!

Each to their own :-) Reading have an awesome red 11 and this looks 10x classier in my eyes.

Well without coming over all "mystic Meg" I'd say there's one hitting the market in the next 24hrs with 40.5K Miles, service up to date...as in tomorrow at HR OWEN who are doing the 10yr full service, (primarily) FAMSH, and 10months warranty, going for around £37k.

I agree with you they look fabulous in person & l think they suit the darker colours

go for it

Yep I agree. Took me a while to see the right combination in my eyes..but magnetic silver metallic works with the Ioss black roof strake

I think it looks fabulous! Would be great to see some more interior shots?

Only two others available until I test drive it.

For me, these are the least attractive OEM wheels I've seen on any Aston in many, many moons. I just don't get wheels that are directional; these look like something you'd see on a Hot Wheels car. But at least wheels are easily changed.

What wheels have you got?

These wheels really seem to generate polarised reactions. I'm not sure why but I think they're just fine. Enjoy your test drive OP but it sounds like the deal is already done

I’m torn with the 11, I rarely see any image that makes me want one but I think it looks fantastic in person. It’s as if it’s just not photogenic! Sounds like the V8 might be a better buy though...
