I was just wondering the other day what happened to him. I guess he’s banned but does living in lala land break the rules?

They were a £1k car not long back. Probably still are actually.

To be fair, he’s not far off the truth.

It was the BV thread that made me wonder what happened to A1VDY.

Would you have time to post if you had a forecourt full of £500 Capri 2.8's and 205 GTI's being sold for scrap value? His phone must be going 24/7 with his prices

Was he a solicitor?
He was a knob, if so.

I was idly wondering if the truly hateful Cygnet had depreciated on down into the real world (a place it's not used to, admittedly).

Happening upon this this 2012 example for £38k assured me that no - no they have not.

I know they only pushed them out the door to meet emissions regulations - but it's still shocking. A couple of dealers trotting out the "one of only 150!" as if it's a limited edition or something, conveniently forgetting that Aston hoped to sell thousands but next to nobody was interested.

I'd also forgotten how crap the interior was, too. Grumble grumble.



Yes I do feel better for getting that off my chest, thanks for asking. laugh

The prices seem to have actually risen recently!

They have accrued quite a cult following it seems.

£38K does seem a bit 'toppy', especially for a private sale when AM dealers have cars £5k cheaper with full Aston warranty, funny really that they are probably the least depreciating 'normal' Aston, but then the production numbers are lower then some 'limited edition' Zagato cars hehe and it would have been a better place to put your money than the Toyota it's based on. wink

At this risk of making this a 5hit Fords from the 90's thread, here's another with the decimal point in the wrong place. Pov spec 1.8 Sierra for £6k

And if you want to really treat yourself, how about a 1.8D Estate for 4 and a bit bags

Christ alive. 'PX to clears' of the past have now become 'absolute gems'.

Good luck with that
