I've not looked at it for some time because it never seemed to change but your correct Kevin, it seems to have had a refresh.

The maroon one is owned by the chap who owns Hotel de France. Clearly a man of fine taste. He also races classic Bentleys.

Two nice arses together:

They really are beautiful.
The silver birch is owned by friends of mine and I really am impressed with how much they use it. We have been on several European trips with them and visited Hotel de France on many occasions. Here’s one Le Mans a few years back - reserved parking because of their car biglaugh [url]

Paul,

I've just spent two days on the Vanquish Day Out trips with Vanquish owning members of the AMOC.
We started off with a fantastic visit to Ecuerie Bertelli. I knew nothing about pre war Astons before but a hell of a lot more after and I'm now a big fan. After that it was off to the Shuttleworth Collection and then a great evening with with a great crowd.
I know some of you here have a very bad impression of the AMOC but I can tell you that having been on both Pistonhead trips and Aston trips, the Vanquish crowd are as good as you'll get in either. The only red trouser seen where the one's I wore for a joke.

The next day we did a trip on Rutland water and got some great pictures of 20 Vanquish on the lakes edge. The afternoon was spent clay pigeon shooting (very few had done this before) and everyone enjoyed it. We finished off with a photo shoot at Grimsthopre Castle.

Another very entertaining evening finished off the event. There was not a pompous stuffed shirt on the trip, just a wide variety of Vanquish fans from some very different backgrounds and age ranges who really did jell and can't wait to do it again.

It is the people who make the club and I'm glad to say it is changing fast and for the better.

I chatted to them briefly, Lovely people.

Out of curiosity, is yours the Vantage that Bamford Rose put its headers and sports secondary cats on?

Was going for dinner last night with the Mrs and the restaurant was out in the countryside, so I got to use the wonderful line of ‘shall we take the Aston’ which kinda makes owning an Aston worthwhile smile

Although I had to move the other cars off the drive, open the garage, take the cover off, unplug the trickle charger… then spend 3 hours cleaning it this morning before tucking it away again!
