Has anyone actually seen an Aston Cygnet on the road yet?

Hopefully without wanting to get into the whole debate about Aston prostituting their badge in return for a quick buck flogging Toyotas for three times what they're worth, I wondered, has anyone actually seen one of these things on the road or in a car park somewhere looking like it's actually in private ownership?

I know Stirling Moss claims to have bought one but I doubt anyone genuinely believes that was anything other than a publicity stunt.

Just curious as to whether anyone had actually really honestly bought one.

Nope, never seen a single one. And i even spotted a 1007 once so i do come across rare cars.

Theres loads in Los Angeles apparently.

I've seen one in Birmingham. A rather tasty looking lady was driving one, but had a fella in a suit with her in the car. Could only imagine she was taking the car for a test drive.

I personally have seen a rather tasteful yellow subject in an Aston garage, and my brother seen one on the actual road

Yup, I saw one heading in to Manchester last week. Old English White colour. It was a cygnet... not a Toyota.. Their white is much more brash... and of course it had the Grille.

I saw one parked up in Mayfair the other day.

[MartyPubes]

Haven't seen one yet, but I have recently moved to a bit of a sthole so....

Saw a photo of Sterling Moss in one but that's about as close as I've got.

[DannyScene]

I've seen 2 in harrogate, ghastly looking things they are!

[Adz The Rat]

How long before people start selling Aston grille conversions for Toyotas on Ebay?

[Ozzie Osmond]

Yes, I've seen one. Must have been a demonstrator as I can't believe anyone would be daft enough to buy the car!

[sawman]

I saw one driving over the tyne bridge last week

[iva cosworth]

Yes ,i saw 2 within seconds of each other in central London.

One of them was in the fluorescent red/orange colour.

Well, thats one way of getting rid of it!

[wackojacko]

Yep, they look fking horrible, even worse than the press pics !

I saw a dozen of them in Chelsea the day they were launched out side a Restaurant (can't remember the name)

No one on here from Swanley?

[maniac0796]

Yep, in Honiton.

I had to look at it twice to make sure it wasn't an IQ. Says it all really.

Hmmm... 13 out of the entire PH collective so far.

Well that's only 13 too many I suppose, could be worse.
