I followed a fabulous A.M. Vantage this afternoon on my way to Attleborough, altho he pulled off the road somewhere before Attleborough. Lovely British Racing green and looked like cream interior. What a fab' car.
By the by I was in my modern so I could keep up, cos he was'nt trying either.

That's quite a good area for Astons - they have a dealership at Long Stratton I believe 
They do indeed, John. Stratton Motor Company is an Aston and Lotus dealer. Last time I checked, they had a couple of Bentleys for sale and an XJ220 
One of my friends was in Long Stratton yesterday and saw an AMV8. He said he had his windows closed and his music on and could still hear the V8 soundtrack!

I too have stood there (looking at a DB7 Volante for £35K) and thought 'Now if I sell both my cars, and find another £10K from somewhere...' But it would have to be my only car, and I don't fancy going shopping with it, and it wouldn't have the character of the Griff - but the badge is very nice. Bah and dammit 
and they are fast cars! It was very close but he just had the legs on the monaro.

The dealer next door to our friends at Scole Engineering always seems to have a couple of Aston's in. I try desparately hard not to dribble over them when I have a gander.
Trading up to an Aston from a 1904 Bickers-Gudgeon could be a record!
love the alternative names you manage to come up with for my old tub John!simpo two said:

Did you fit it with the Bagshawe Continuous Drive option?
All will be revealed (thru a fog of oil smoke)at the first show of the season. Yes Yes I know all the PHEA gang can't wait to crawl over and under the old tub oooo'ing and ah,hhhhhing in wonderment at this mechanical marvel, but sorry you simply must be patient. Actually somebody recently did get confused about the car name and asked if she could see my JOHN THOMAS!!!

Bloody hell, you've pulled! Maybe I need a Sefton Briggs as well.. what year is best? The models from 1908 onwards had extended chain helmings, which I think is a nice touch.
