Hmm looks like the as yet unannounced AMR ride-on lawnmower. Project Viridian.

I'd bet you won't be a million miles away from the cost of a new V12 Vantage AMR !

I presume that this is not about building more Vulcans. It seems to be an upgrade to get more money from existing Vulcan owners.

I think Vulcan owners were given first refusal on a Valkyrie order. The balance for that will not be payable for some time, so another tempting offer now does seem opportune.

Yes, correct. It's about £150k of aero additions and final drive alterations which can markedly improve lap times. It's for current owners to modify existing cars. AM is anticipating around 30% of Vulcan owners to buy the package.

Remember that we can all view the Festival of Speed live online.

There is a Live button on the Goodwood website, and I think also a live version on YouTube.

Several Aston Martins went up the hill this afternoon.
Slightly funny commentary, because the cars were not being named correctly.
I thought he did not know his Astons, but expect he was talking about what he could see, and not what we were being shown on screen.
He probably commentates for both the viewers, and the people at the event.

Enjoy.
