I work in newport pagnell and see loads of astons test driving everyday. However friend and I can't work out this beast. Side profile is nothing like I has seen before.

Spot on! they made 99 of this model and 99 of a roadster version for the States, with no roof at all! Lovely interior. We have an unregistered coupe and roadster for sale as a pair in Paris with matching numbers.

99 production cars. A reliable source tells me this one, still owned by AML, is number 100...

They look fantastic in the flesh, especially from behind. Honest!

That's tru, I always thought they were a bit ugly and then I saw one sat at the lights as I walked past and it was stunning in Aston racing Green!

Richard my zag has exactly the same colour combination as your tvr - pentland with tan.
Good choice!

I just can't stand that huge, horrible gob. The grille/mouth on Astons are the nicest part of the front IMO. The guy who first did that (David Brown?) got that exactly right. This one is all out of proportion. The one on the DB7 looks very good, and the one on the DB9 is perfect.

I LOVE these. I have been in number 77, they get so many looks and they look so much nicer in real life than in pictures.

And that sound
