Some stunning Aston Martin one-77 photos

Absolutely, I'll take mine in white! This is one of the best profiles of any car I've seen. From every angle it looks simply amazing, and the noise it makes is heavenly.
My only complaint is the instrument dials look pretty dull for a £1.3 million car, they are nigh identical to the ones in much cheaper Astons. Even then, when you are paying £140,000 for an Aston, I still look at the dials and think "God, this is a bit bland!".

Lovely overall.
But to nit pick, I'd expect the various wonky shut lines to be fixed if I were spending £1.2m. The USP is supposed to be beauty afterall.
This caught my eye immediately. It's even worse at the bottom.
Clumsy kink in the design
Come on Aston, just shave 5mm off that over hang
It almost looks a bit TVR-esq. But with a price tag twenty times higher. If it were £150k maybe the points above would be acceptable. Or is it just me.

I agree on the build quality issues - I spotted those and with an asking price of more than a million, I would be expecting quite a bit more. No its not nit picking and other cars of the same price bracket (not racer specials) will have been done and re-done before being allowed out of the factory.
That said, I noticed that the registration plate says "built in 2009" which suggests to me that its the pre-production display model, so I would expect a few production issues and irregular gaps. So maybe I could forgive this particular one if it is a pre-prod Aston.

Correct. Customer cars would never leave with those issues.
I'm being pernickity here, but my tongue was on the floor until I saw it was wrong hand drive. Odd I know but I mentally can't do the flip and imagine it right hand drive.
Hate seeing that on TV adverts too - is it so much work to do a few quick shots for the UK with the steering wheel on the side it'll be on if I ever buy the car?
