How about an Aston photo thread!

Adding to what RichB rightly says it also has slightly softer cams and Solex PHH44 carburettors for better low speed performance. This one now has a 4 speed ZF autobox from a Jaguar XJR with 2 stage kickdown and a Quicksilver exhaust, it is every bit as quick as a manual in a straight line. And with recently rebuilt de Dion rear and modified front suspension and steering it hustles well for a big heavy car. It also has modern Jag Mark X racing brakes so stops well too

IMHO Aston missed a trick not badging the current Rapide as a Lagonda. As an elongated and lithe version of the sporty 2+2 it is the spiritual successor of this car.

Totally agree but then Bez was in control at the time so probably had no idea of the heritage...

DBX should be a Lagonda also.

Aston green?

[James Alexander]

Hi David,

I think its called 'DBR9 Green' or if its the same thing, 'Aston Martin Racing Green' - same colour as the Le Mans winner in 2007, same year as the car.

[V8V Pete]

I thought you were selling it.

[James Alexander]

Hi Pete,

Yes, she's going up for sale soon but heading to the Revival early next month and didn't want to waste anyone's time, so delisted it !

[KevinBird]

One for road and track

[V8V Pete]

Not sure that splitter's going to last long on the road. Looks great. What's the spec?

Just sublime. And that is where the seed was planted and why it had to be blue when I got one 30 years later . Its still such a staggeringly good looking car.
