I think these models were launched a couple of days ago, but no PH topic yet.
Perhaps I can guess why.

Ladies, gentlemen and children, please raise a glass to ............... The Aston Martin Pram.






Your new born, probably named Lawrence, can be safely ensconced in high performance, 1hp (human power) ultra luxury, so obviously the cost will be, well let's say if you do need to ask, then it might not be for you.
Racing Green colour is available for a limited number of very select customers (option £20,000).

If it is going to be called the 'Lance Stroller', then I don't want one.
However, 'Bring Baby Along So', would be a much more appealing with an association of, I am the leading Aston Martin.

Lance once asked Ferdinand, "Why do I have to always be behind you".
FA reply,
"Sorry I don't follow". - smile

Brilliant!

…and they’ve reduced the time for the hood operation even further.

Considering the likely onboard leakage you may not want to go for the perforated seat option.

Not sure you will get much downforce from that rear spoiler.

I assume those are optional alloys - they must save at least 425g by the looks of them.

Outstanding work.

It wont be long before DC wheels on eBay has a spare set for sale once you curb these ones. Not sure about the semi slick tyres though ... not the best offering in typical UK weather.

No, but a Norland Nanny is an optional extra.

The only Aston Martin product I ever hankered after was the bike (because I like 90's mountain bikes), based on a Chas Roberts D.O.G.S. B.O.L.X. (that's it's actual name) a Columbus tubed thing of hand made beauty.

Most of these brand crossovers are marketing nonsense but at least the bike was a British made hand built product, which you could order when ordering a car, painted to match naturally. Very much in line with Aston Martin's ethos at the time.

I can't imagine much naffer than paying a vast premium to be matchy matchy with your DBX & baby carriage, but I accept I am not the target audience.





As an aside a rival British frame builder, Dave Yates came up with the Donkis Nob, stood for like Dave Optimum No Kompromise Interactive System, Never Obviously Beaten. A very silly time. biglaugh

Very good. A beautiful bike.

I notice from the photograph, that Aston Martin were playing their usual, 'up sell' tricks.
Pedals must have been optional extras.
How many £thousands did a set of pedals cost?

No bell, but I think a bell has to be supplied at the time of sale. Perhaps Q handled that compulsory extra.

Ha! I had a couple of Chas Robert’s custom frames built, one a 753, I forget the other, a more basic frame for training.

Very expensive
in its day and auto only- only 2 pedals. Most of us like Astons with 3 pedals
