[Rumblestripe]

that's rather lovely

[Fire99]

That is certainly a good looking Aston. They can still make attractive cars..

hmmm... matching period overalls and helmets. You really would look like one wouldn't you!?

Lovely green colour.

They are not compulsory!! (I hope)

Lovely thing- I'll never have one, but happy to see that a few lucky chaps will.

To me, this looks so much better than the DB11. I think it is because the sills between the wheels are chunkier and the same colour as the body, meaning you can see the 'bulk' there. On the DB11, they are often black, and look much more cut in, meaning from most angles the car looks like it is riding very high.

All in my personal, humble opinion of course, and something I'm unlikely to ever have to put across to an Aston salesman.

That looks fantastic.

DBR1 and DBR2 didn't have the Aston grille.

Oh I rather think they should be! (Along with a Graham Hill-esque 'tache!)

The number of limited editions everyone is churning out is crazy.
I do like the colours and finishes on this but seriously it’s devaluing the standard cars churning out endless le cars.

Oh boy that is one good looking machine. Dont. Are much for the helmet and the rest of the accessories but that colour is amazing.

See AM, this should be your direction, not the lime green st you seem to be throwing at every other special edition trying to please the youfs and footballers.

AML think of it as Aston green and part of their heritage and therefore they're trying to please conservative owners rather than new money. Admittedly it's a flexible colour of many shades and tones but it's been around a long time.

So how much after the 325 k launch is this now worth ?

Is it an investment ? Or just a very nice aston ?

I have no idea thoughts ?
