Advert disappeared for me. I wonder if Aston made a call to the flipper owner.

am i the only who is surprised they made and sold 88?

nearly a million for a brand that aren't typically associated with that sort of price range, where there are other (prettier) alternatives?

and then assuming they did find 88 buyers, the vendor here is looking for #89 who wants one, but didnt at the time - and is willing to pay more?

predict it'll be on sale for a very long time, and then will hit 500k or so and miss its reserve bouncing around auction houses over the next few years....

You can still get to it via the search... probably just duff links

yer tis

Do like Astons but TBH when you're talking about that sort of money you must *really* need to love Astons... and must be blinkered to not look for anything else, Surely?

I’ve seen one of these driving down the road - last December - in this colour, and I have to say pictures don’t do justice. It’s not pretty, but wow does it stand out. Cool thing.

I hear the UK is getting 3 of those out of the "88" produced.

1) Been at Aston Martin Birmingham since December 2021 - Apprently silently for sale... hehe
2) Was at Aston Martin Wilmslow for many months, now for sale at Hillmoren in Leicester...
3) Delivered summer last year via Aston Martin Park Lane

If the 3 cars figure is true, at least 66% of them have been up for sale already.


One is on Guernsey plates and drove past me when I was heading into M&S St. John, Jersey, in December. Two guys in it, no helmets, it looked really good. Same colour as this one.

As far as I’m aware that car isn’t originally delivered to Guernsey but to the Middle East.

Although recently it’s been driving around London, again with the driver not wearing a helmet!

wow - that is stunning!! Not sure about the asymmetrical seating (one for the teeth itch thread) but I love it, main colour/lime accents/tan interior - excellent

Does every fking story about a petrol engine car have to start by mentioning the legislated demise of the petrol engined car?

Can't we just enjoy it while it lasts? Even when they are as laughably bad as the one featured.
Agreed whole heartedly. Can't escape the feeling that EV's are nothing more than appliances!

Whilst, the general consensus has always been that analogue holds considerable value over digital !

Pointless, ugly car.

Aston have sold a huge amount of cars in recent years for more than this - Valkyrie, One-77, Vulcan, various Zagato models, and continuation cars such as the DB4 Zagato at £6m a pop.

That’s about the size of it yes

Before any of you go spunking the thick end of a million on this thinking it’ll make you look like Peter Perfect, first get a little Lego person and pop him inside a turquoise training shoe. That’s what you’ll look like. A tiny little bellend.
