Some of you may know that I am truly obsessed by the One-77, (at time of writing I've been lucky enough to see 8 different ones now --ETA: 16 now!). Because of that I've been working on a registry of all known cars here:

http://www.astonone-77.com

At time of writing there are 40 of the 77 + Development cars currently shown in the registry and probably this is the vast majority of the cars that have been produced. I am aware of 2 other cars although do not have images to add or information I can make public at this stage.

The aim of this thread is to post up any information you may have on any other cars, or any One-77s as and when they are spotted around the world in an effort to grow the registry and enjoy what is in my opinion the most beautiful car to have ever been created.

Shmee - how do you keep track of the production numbers ?

As you know they are not made in numerical order, with each customer able to pick their own 'lucky' production number so to speak. smile

Easy, the VIN number ends 177xx, where the xx represents the car number - although they do not need to be made in that order as you say. The development cars all end 107xx.

The cars do have a plaque on the sills that says the number too although this is harder to see of course!

He did indeed (although his surname isn't Smolik - he's a good friend of mine but just has that on YouTube), that is car number 44 and went straight in - he knew me well enough to send me a photo of the VIN as soon as he saw the car!

There is indeed, car #65, my 8th I've personally seen.



At the moment there is also another car at Stratstone on the A40 also, this one:

Wasn't there on Monday. Will look out for it when they get my light unit in.

Yep, the white one went in on Wednesday I believe, not sure why though.

Another one has been seen in London, interestingly also a RHD car and I suspect the tally of RHD's is more like 3-4 total but just 2 out of the 41 that I've managed to add to the registry. http://www.astonone-77.com

Here's the new one, great plate!

That one is likely to suffer in resale value - no chance of selling it to any Chinese-speaking country.

For what it's worth, people may be interested to know that these two, car numbers #01 and #07 respectively are owned by Sheik Nasser, effectively AM's owner:

The number "four" is considered to be bad luck, because it sounds like the word for "death".

Lots of hotels and other buildings don't have a fourth floor or any rooms with a four in the number.

I had no idea, but then yes I guess #44 isn't likely to be very popular in that market!

I have a quick query concerning the One-77. I've never actually seen a road test for it. Has there ever been a 'press' car as such? And if so, how did they rate it? Are there any confirmed performance figures?

The quick answer to that is, no. Aston have held on very tightly to them.

Anyone heard that the 1-77 has a problem with the clutch and several customers have had new clutches fitted???
