Well after getting the itch to swap my ‘keeper’ and being unable to find something I like in the current Aston range (or the offer I had for it against a vanq was not a deal in my opinion but theft) I decided the V12vs is now a real keeper and bought something else British to complement it.
A Morgan arp 4 with cosworth engine.
I left the brand a few years ago but regretted it , saw sense and came back, none of the other car brands in the sector do anything for me ,Aston is the one but at the moment my money has gone elsewhere.
Has anyone else had the same feelings I know it’s first world problems !

Hi LT
Its a 2.0ltr costworth engine with carbon fibre bits on it, as you can tell I aren’t mechanically minded lol ! They only made 50 world wide , it a bit tame until you reach 4.5k revs then it’s screams away until 8k revs
Totally different to the Aston in every way but still British, it’s a bit sad that we cannot find a new Aston to suit us, the depreciation on the new line up was also a factor for me
Great combo by the way my problem was I had to get a shorter car as the garage has a dog leg !

Yes Aston certainly gets under your skin when, I am with you on the Italian cars ... not for me , I want a modern classic that’s British !

I hadn’t realised there were so many people with the same first world problems as me
Perhaps we should set up a therapy group
Nick - I told her it would make me look like mr darcy smile

I looked at a three wheeler but came to the conclusion that it would be ok for a short trip to the pub and that was about it, and the pub is a taxi normally ! then man maths came into play and the rest as they say is history
