You haven't got a DB5 have you? yikes ... cloud9

I saw your car at TAG last weekend, you were parked a couple down from mine. I had a little nose around and I must say your Griff is in immaculate condition and the colour combo looks even better in the flesh than it does in pictures.

No, 1958 DB MkIII, a Feltham built Aston. I prefer the 50s cars... wink

Thanks for kind comments about "Grizzly" my Griff, actually someone asked me if it had been re-sprayed but no, and it's done a few track days but gets looked after.

Have you ever considered the wooden steering wheel for your Griff? I do really like the combination of the Aston Green exterior (I am guessing) and the green / tan leather.

WOW that Aston is absolutely stunning, possibly more so than the DB5. You are clearly a gentleman who has a very good taste in cars. thumbup

If I ever won the lottery I would own one of these. My favourite car of all time.... The Aston DBR1. cloud9

You too sir. My all time favourite is very similar but just a few years older, and no, I quite like the black leather wheel on my Griff. Now we digress so back to the Telegraph I suppose wink
