What a wonderful collectors set.

When you have a spare 8 minutes, this is the most exciting Aston Martin last few laps at Le Mans.
Dicing after nearly 24 hours for the class win. Who will win, Chevrolet or Aston Martin?

I take it this is the plan to wipe out the £1bn debt? Might succeed at that.

Not sure whether it will be AML or Prodrive, who benefit from this one.
Can imagine this might have to be decided by a sealed bid auction, for such a special set of cars. None will have race history though.
Think what the 2017 Le Mans class winning GTE would be worth. Probably will never be for sale.

Did you see my post Dieter, on page 102 of the Stock Market Listing topic?
It was about a new vehicle discount of £300,000, given to a former director.
Not necessarily your non-mate, but it could be.
Vehicle not being delivered this year, so I would guess Valkyrie.

I know if you have to ask you can't afford it - but how much is that trio going to cost I wonder?

Yes, these will be the very, very last first generation VH2 Vantages – honestly this time! wink

… that is until the Vantage VH2 continuation production starts at the end of next year – a strictly limited edition of 5000 cars is being rumored (being an insider I am in the know, you see, but cannot reveal any further right now). I mean three years after regular production has ended, it will then be high time for a revival, don´t you think?

Thanks for pointing that out! It may be worth buying a share or two for the privilege of raising the question.
