Classic Aston Owners Sure Are Getting Younger...

At Goodwood on Sunday I spotted these guys getting out of this:



Who knows how much insurance and excess the parents are paying (assuming it's not theirs)...but respect for choosing it over your typical young person's Lambo or Ferrari of choice....

They're surprisingly cheap to insure; they don't go very fast (the brakes are such that you don't want to go too fast), mileage will always be limited and I've not heard of one being stolen in a while (not a casual thief's car of choice even if they could get it started and difficult to sell on without history etc).

I think I was paying less for my db5 than my db9 at one point

Seriously? I never realised. How much are DB5s nowadays anyway, out of curiosity....

The worlds most famous and valuable stolen car is a DB5...



£750K-£1M+ for a proper DB5 today.

I'm sure someone will be along soon to say that was a DB4 mk V and not a DB5
