Morning folks,

Looks like John is having another one of his open mornings on the 29th September. Always a fantastic turnout and plenty to see.

It seems he would like an indication of numbers looking at this Tweet.

Hope to see you there.

It would be interesting to hear the back story on how McGurks managed to sell a DB7 GT at a recent auction for... are you sitting down... £24,150 inc premium.

Popped in to see John yesterday.

There will be plenty to see on the day wink and even a couple of Aston Martin celebrities.

Get your names down folks.

They mentioned it on their Facebook feed, apparently.

Think I should step in here, we did NOT sell a DB7 GTA at auction (why would I?), we had sold the car previously and for some insane reason the client was convinced by Bonhams that if he entered the car with 'No Reserve' that would excite buyers. It didn't, it cost him a fortune. Auctions can be good and bad. This is why special cars should be handled professionally and not sold at auctions.

Really looking forward to seeing you next Saturday, we will have some new Astons to look at along with some familiar faces!

Enjoyed popping into McGurks as a potential customer last year, though ended up going the R8 route, are non Aston drivers welcome?

Thanks for bringing that bit of speculation to an end! I hope that the coffee morning was fun.

It's okay the non-Aston Martin owners to come along I might just use this as an excuse for a drive on Saturday morning.
Not sure what car I will bring, either a Ferrari 360 or a Jag F-type.
I am considering running an early V8 vantage as my daily driver next year.
