wink There aren't that many are there? Let's have a think... Vantage GT8, Red Bull and AMR, Vanquish Zagato and AMR Rapide. That's not that many is it?

Don't get confused with dealer specials though, although limited in number, theses aren't limited editions in the way factory editions are. Dealers have been doing this with all manufacturers for decades, from Ford to AM so you can't count these as such.
The original V12 Vantage Roadster was limited to 101 cars and also they had a V12 Carbon Black Edition

PJDV8, which exact paint protection film product has been put on your car and which areas of your car have been covered with it? In the photos I can hardly see a difference to a non-protected paintwork so shiny it looks.

My V8 Roadster is 10 years old next week, so fitted new Zagato badges.
The red matches the roof and brake callipers.

Emilio Largo, I’m unsure which PPF Topaz have used, I’ll find out when I get the invoice on Tuesday! I know it is a self-healing film. The entire car has been covered.

Just had a look at their brochure and they call it Topazskin.

Spent a lovely couple of days with Mrs K at Wiverton and the North Norfolk coast. Weather was great food was amazing and the wine was....a lot! But the Aston, as always, was just fabulous.



If you are lucky enough to be able to have one, and you don't have one, you are missing out on so much.

Got the vanq out and cleaned it.... The took the wife out and canned the crap out of it! Missus never really bonded with the aston, doesn't like being stared and thinks it's a bit, well, poncy.

A couple of foot down moments and a full bore run from a standstill through the first 4 gears changed her mind, rev limiter in first 3......shes now a full on fan!

The engine in this car is epic, not the most powerful but the noise, oh the noise!!!!

Fitted a new off side track rod end to my DB9 due to a split boot and replaced my yellowing side repeaters, now much brighter

Had a go at solving my sub vibration and found 2 retaining clips fitted the wrong way round, presumably from the factory, but it still buzzes a bit

Exactly 7 days after I bought my first Aston, I cleaned it and put the AMOC sticker in the rear window. ❤️ it!

MO55IE at Goodwood, the sun shone and a great day we had.

Have to confess this wasn't today, actually earlier this month (computer now fixed).
