Terrible photo but was parked near work today. Thought it looked quite good in the metal.

Jesus Christ that number plate though, do they have to be like that?

I saw one at t local car meet. Surprisingly small and bijou. Lots of grilles (too many, really, for it to be a visual treat). It also had the weird plate.

Saw this out in the sun yesterday, I think it's a 275GTB...



Can anyone please estimate how much it's likely to be worth? All the ones for sale are POA

Lots I'm guessing. It's only averaged 400 miles between mots for the past 5 years. Great spot!

Saw a darker coloured one heading up the A46 (Bidford to Alcester) one morning last week. Also undisguised.

First they copy the engine and dashboard from Mercedes, then they copy the asymmetrical door mirrors...

They have dual exhausts, one each side. There’s a few pre-production cars in this colour doing the rounds at the moment and being run in.

That's the car in this months Top Gear magazine, up in Sweden and Finland testing in January

That rear is Essence of Aston to me. Shame they didn't do something like that on the back of the DB11.

[AstonZagato]

Can't find much I like about the front view though.

Certainly not when covered in that camo.

The side and front profile look perfection to me. I don't think you can judge the front based on that pic with the camo.

No, but it's not a lot better without camo. And then you've got the childish dash/centre console, and the stupid childish exhaust note (only beaten by the Jaguar F-Type).

I just can't fall in love with it. I'm sure it hits their target market, but I'm obviously no longer it.

Personally I quite like it, especially from the side in that pic of the yellow one. Much prefer it to the DB11 and I think it looks so much better than the new TVR as well. Just a shame Aston have pushed the price right up given the old V8 Vantage was priced enough below the 100k mark.

Bill Boddy, the Editor of Motor Sport magazine from 1936 to 1991 did not like the V8 Aston. He believed it to be ostentatious. Gawd alone knows what he'd say about the current cars.
