Sorry to disagree with you here but I don't like that grill - the standard DBS one is better.

Oh and those wheels - not for me! Lets not mention the colour - each to their own I guess.

More importantly, it has the wings badge on the boot, not "ASTON MARTIN". I wonder if it's just stuck on or recessed? Looks like it's stuck on....

I don't agree, because off the sheer depth of the grille, although would want to see it with a numberplate on before fully judging

For me they both look good so would have to see close up to choose.

I'm not a fan of the grille or wheels. But as I said in the other thread, I'm sure (and glad) there are 50 people who would love it and will part with the £300k necessary and for that I'm grateful.

For me, this is perfect - the perfect classy colour combo:

I like the changes on the OHMSS car however are they worth £70k on top of a base DBS ? What value the changes and Bond connection ? The answer might only come to light when re sale takes place .

I think this is better looking than the Tag Heuer DBSS which has just appeared for resale at £350k which is some £55k over list....

I think what is asked and what is achieved might be quite different IMO . There are a number of well specced low mileage cars circa £100k lower than the TAG car . Surprised there are no other trinkets with the OHMSS car - an Omega Watch would have been nice - perhaps conflicts with the TAG tie up .

Makes the new Vantage look rather understated smile

I just think that is just too much, defo prefer the original. Wish they would produce one for new vantage as an option (hope you're listening Aston)....

Big grills are a 'thing' these days, all manufacturers do it. Look at BMW, X7 grill versus that from an E30



Makes you look more important and scares people out of the way when they see you bearing down on them in their rear view mirror rolleyes

When every James Bond special edition has been done, then how about some David Brown special editions?
They would have to have big grilles, so just perfect for the current fashion.
