Doesn't work does it?

Looks "stunted" IMHO and the boot lid line is awful. frown

I've seen it before. That roof! That central brake light! What were they thinking?! It's a from me.

The Zagato example though cloud9

How much is it up for, went for circa. £400k last time I believe?

Keep in mind, however, the Zagato has no top at all. It still is pretty nice.

I know, I'm glad they haven't bothered personally. The roof on the DB-AR1 looks a mess. It's not a car to be driven in the rain anyway! Any other weather the roof should be down biggrin

I like it, bet it looks better in the metal than the picture.

It would be a better looking car of there was no roof option at all, just used as a Speedster. Not sure about that rear boot line... Hmm.

Well I'm buying the Zagato! loved from the day I first saw it.






Well, when I say I'm buying it, there is just the small detail of needing all six numbers to come up - but one day it will be mine smile

Hehe, that's brilliant. Overpriced at £8 though.

You can't! I'm planning on it being parked next to my V8 V600 LM once I win the Euromillions biggrin
