Lagonda for me.



I wouldn't say no to a Vanquish either.

Have always loved these but sadly they are rarer than the DB4GT Zagato.

There are too many Astons I love, so I guess I'll have to list some:

1. DB6 Volante.
2. DBS Volante.
3. Vanquish.
4. DB4 GT Zagato.

This one.

My father owned this actual car from 1990 to 1995. It was a fabulous looking car and with the x pack engine and manual box was really quite quick. I used to smoke round in it as a very lucky ( and quite scared) 18 year old, driving it third party only. He must have been mad!

Does any body on here own it now? As I think it has recently been sold or is for sale.

My current favourite


But there is of course the car that got me interested in Aston's when I was little (even had the dinky toy)


And yes Jockman I am older than the original film!

I don't like the lines of many of the older Astons - apart from this which is sensational.

For me AM became my dream brand starting with the DB7
In order, my faves - Vanquish, DBS, DB9.

Fell into that trap myself. Saw it advertised in Octane a few months back. Wondered how many were built and what their current market worth is, so googled it.
Its a one off!
Price? If you need to ask you (we) can't afford it. frown
So more pictures.

I like the DB4 GTZ, but the std GT is my preference (and favourite Aston). I very nearly bought this a few years ago.



Next would be the new V8V - I'm partisan I know, but aesthetics and noise are high on my tick list for cars and this car has both covered as well as pretty much any car ever made.

Old school V8V would be third, though a tight shout with the Vanquish.
