My first visit to this forum and a big hello to my fellow car enthusiasts.
My background. Well I won't see 45 again. Always been a petrol head. The first word I ever spoke was car indeed before mum and dad.
So all down hill from there really.
I own an eclectic mix of vehicles.
I am not a one make car guy.
You have to sample the delights of many and enjoy their individual strengths and weaknesses.
Okay I have a heavy 911 focus all air cooled.
Not really a new car guy save for the Cat but who can resist an old school muscle car with modern day underpinnings.
So what next.
My thoughts have turned to one of the most iconic cars ever made.
The early Aston Martin.
I would very much appreciate some real world insight into the DB4,5 and 6.
What are they like to live with. Not a daily but a fair weather friend. (how the hell do you keep on top of those beautiful wire wheels)
Who can I trust to look after it and carry out a thorough pre purchase inspection.
It would be manual.
Budget £300K which I sense might not be enough.
allastonmartin have a graphite DB6 at £300K which looks nice in the pictures. (we all know pictures can lie)
Originally a white car with a 4.5 vantage spec engine.
Would that kill resale having been messed with.
The DB4 in Wedgwood blue at £365
Your thoughts, warts and all would be very much appreciated
