A good start would be Tim at Trinity Engineering.... They build and restore all classic astons.... And only based in Cobham.

[tonyhall38]

[George29]

The car lives down in Devon and is immaculate and stunning - think the owner is a PH'er so may be along.

No did mean Tim at Trinity, but Burntout is right its green. Sure I've seen that colour car somewhere. Either that or I am getting old.

You have seen that colour before. Try looking in LBS's profile.

It is on his profile but LBS does have a beautiful DB7VV - but the Persuaders car is one he would undoubtedly love to have as well. I am sure he will be along soon - once his mid-morning knap is over

'Lord Bret Sinclair' was the character that drove the Bahama yellow car, hence a pic of it in Tim's (LBS) profile

It does the rounds at the AMOC/Aston events, lovely car.

[cayman-black]

What a stunning looking car! God i used to love the persuaders.

Hoorah! Thought I was going senile, knew I'd seen it somewhere, and it was some bloke valled Tim!

Hi all, sorry just woken up from my evening nap!!

Now, what was the question??

No but we are related as it happens.

Have got a £90K budget so hopefully can get it sorted.

Thanks for the usefull information gents so far.

[williamp]

£90k should get you a good one. There are, of course two types as you know: the DBS and the DBS V8. The latter has the V8 and a few other differences. They were restyled to the "single headlight" AM Vantage and V8.

There is a great book about the cars:



I'll sign it for you if we ever meet

Look for rust, and engine trouble. anything else is cheap to fix by comparison. There are many buying guides printed in magazines over the years, and they can be upgraded to drive like a modern car.

Oh, and go for the V8. A great car
