Aston Martin Vantage on eBay for £6.5k

[67Dino]

I know this is technically a kit, but it's so astonishingly realistic I challenge anyone but a true affecionado to spot any differences:

That has made appearance in badly modified thread,rightly so,awful thing.

His spelling is top notch too,last time I looked it had a Punto engine,meant to be Pinto.

[Agent57]

Not even Stevie Wonder would be fooled by that.

[ilikeAstons]

One of a kind, definitely.

[M5MarkM]

Shocking! "looks and sounds the part" with a 1.6?! Shocking how the owner could even think 1 panel looks like an AM panel!

[shinjuku]

Thanks, I needed a laugh

[cheddar]

The way the front wheel perfectly fills the arch in the final photo shows utter dedication to authenticity.......

[Speculatore]

Brilliant...........

"Its a Classic car which means free tax and very low classic car insurance"!

"I would be willing to consider taking a half tidy classic as a swap".

[LordBretSinclair]

It's got an AMOC badge on the front.
Cue instant heart attacks from the red trouser brigade !!!!

[avinalarf]

Fooled me.....
Isn't that Tony Hall in the driver's seat ?

[Bobajobbob]

I didn’t realise that Starsky and Hutch drove an Aston.

[soad]

Limited market.

I genuinely think that if the only DB5 I had ever seen had gone past me at 100mph, in the dark, when it was raining, I would be able to create a more accurate replica. With my eyes closed.

• note: I'm totally guessing it's supposed to be a DB5, and only then because of the round rear lights. And even then the idiot hasn't got the right number of them...

You're close it's a DB4S

Ah, missed that (was hard to see the pic due to the hand shielding my eyes).

But hang on, I don't remember a DB4S? The Superlegerra variant was called GT, wasn't it? Don't tell me that he's made an error in his painstakingly accurate reproduction...

[Agent57]

That makes it very rare so must be worth even more....

[ian_uk1975]

I totally empathise with him regarding no tie wasters; it's a tragedy seeing a good tie go to waste!

[Pitcombe]

I think the Aston Martin badges are worth more, and cost more than the rest of the car put together.

[hairyben]

Haha thats awesome. I haven't seen the word lookaklike used since people flogging knackers with stolen xr3i bodykits in the small ads in the 80s.

Dont think he quite gets the provenence of the term, I see myself more as some wannabe lothario seducing council trash by pretending to be some viscount on the run in that. The ill fitting gearstick gaiter would be a metonymy.

[ChilliWhizz]

If I had more garage space and £6.5k burning a hole I'd be snapping this up...

On the same page as the Aston look a likey thingy
