Anyone know anything about this Aston?

Parked next to this at the Eurotunnel (On the way to Spa) last weekend. Absolutely stunning!

Looks like a DB5 Volante. A rarity indeed.

DB5 convertible (assuming that's what it is, I can't see the picture). Volante wasn't used until the run out DB5 'short chassis' volante.

Indeed, that much I know. Just wondered if it was anyone's on here and whether it's had an interesting life. It looked immaculate.

Parked using the Tony Hall hand book of ''how to park an aston taking two spaces!''

I'd be paranoid having to park that anywhere! Good to see it's not just a garage queen, though ...

I think the area to the right of the driver door is a walkthough rather than a parking space.

So you would squeeze that into one space and risk a dent??! 2 spaces would be my method.

Life is inherently risky George - and the DB5 is a very narrow car! 2 spaces would be more likely to get you a keying depending on where you are. It doesn't win you any friends, that's for sure...

And in typical fashion the car next to you parks over their white line and closes the gap anyway :-P

I thought you might have been trying to sell the owner some clear rear lights Tony

Well I'm going to do this from now on. Some c**t dinged my passenger door the other day.

It was going to join the AMOC European centenary tour. They were at the Zagato factory yesterday.
The back of the car is in one of the tour pictures that they are putting up on the AMOC site. I really wanted to do this tour, unfortunately only got back to the UK yesterday.
