Yep, that is stunning 
This was also my schoolboy dream car. There used to be one that lived in a house with a long, gated drive in Boxley, Kent. My friend and I used to cycle the 5 miles-or-so from my house during the summer and just sit on the verge opposite the entrance in the hope the owner would come out in the car...

You weren't my best mate at school were you? This was also my schoolboy dream car. There used to be one that lived in a house with a long, gated drive in Boxley, Kent.

Used to do similar things, like on a school trip up London we disappeared round to the Aston showroom in Sloan St/square and spend our educational day peering through the glass.
In the late 80's working at a Dealership a dark blue V8 would come past on over run under the underpass at Bexley....oh the noise

That's the one, can't remember how many times I've watched it and the hair on the back of my gregory still stands uphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hv_DEwnJTQ&t=...
When I was a much younger Buster , in the late 70's iirc we were walking through Hyde Park when we saw a photo shoot taking place including a V8 Aston , I cannot remember if it was a Vantage , what I can remember was it was a chestnut brown metallic and its number plate was the AMV 8 that still gets used to this day.
I spent a few minutes chatting to the driver who worked for Aston , then went on our way keeping looking over our shoulder at this beautiful car.
I wrote to AM saying how appreciative I was of the time given by the driver to a teenager who was just interested in cars in general , I got a letter back and was given a poster which was on my bedroom wall for a few years later.
Still a fine looking car , I never have been a jealous person but those photos could easily change my mind .

Cheers fellas.
Wtdoom, difficult to explain how it drives as I have rose tinted glasses.
Brakes are wooded, car is heavy so needs the harvey baily kit to help it. Rides well, probably the smoothest car I have.
It's fast even by today's standards and revving it rewards you. Particularly quick when you punch it on motorway speeds.
