Saw this beauty on my way home from work the other day, a rather rare sight in my small mid beds village!!!!
You on the other hand have put the Ferrari to shame by showing you are getting just under 51mpg!

Ugly all day. What a strange car, and I can't help thinking of the wee fiat barchetta which strangely I adore!!

There is a PH’er around the Beds/Bucks area that has/had an F50 - could be him.
Genuine rarity and great to see it being used.
Yes that was me. Still have it and still being used! Genuine rarity and great to see it being used.
Glad it isn’t locked away for fear of adding those dreaded miles - nice to see the garage has grown too.
How do you find the Sport Turismo, I think they are a lovely car but seem somewhat unloved going by how many I have(n’t) seen on the road.

It's actually a brilliant piece of kit, handling and power is ridiculous for something so big. I try to use it as a winter only car and use the others over the warmer months. That seems to be working; do ca. 15K miles a year, about 5K a year with the Panamera.

I've seen a few about actually. About the same as the number of RS6s I see around. They're super expensive estate cars so you won't get that many. One thing though, mine's the turbo, and I think it needs all that power being such a heavy car. Had a 4S loaner from the dealership and it was a deeply horrible, gutless thing. Couldn't wait to hand it back.

Thanks for the information. I think they look fantastic, would be my choice for an everyday car (if I won the lottery).

I'm sorry to have to agree. I'm beginning to think that the flipped tail and the odd grille are there to try to give it any character at all.giblet said:

You can change the grill when you spec the car now....

That factory option, whilst still better than the one photographed, looks a bit 'gopey' (is that a word?).https://configurator.astonmartin.com/#/configurati...
The aftermarket one from Revenant above looks much better IMO.

You can choose between the ugly original or the one that looks like you made your own out of chicken wire...https://configurator.astonmartin.com/#/configurati...
