Classic Aston - any ideas?

[PhantomPH]

Saw the below classic Aston on Classic Gear on ITV4, but they never referred to it! I am not normally one for 'classic' classic cars, but that is just gorgeous.

Can anyone identify it from my photo grabbed from the TV?

It's a pre-war Aston, check on astonmartins.com for more information. There is a chap here on Pistonheads that know loads about Astons this old, hopefully he will drop by and cast his eye over this.

Thanks for the site tip. Could be this one : http://www.astonmartins.com/prewar/ulster_prod.htm but there may be a million cues that I am missing!

Something about that all in black looks utterly, goppingly gorgeous.

The program referred to a bunch of other early Astons including prototype chassis 3 which was to the left of the black one in that shot, but they never so much as pointed to the one above.

Probably worth a small fortune!

Yes, probably worth a lot. There was another topic similar to this very recently, and a very coherent answer was given by a Pher. My advice is to drop him a PM and see if he can help you out.

Don't get me wrong, I am not looking to buy - don't want to bother anyone directly, just to find out which car I should add to my mental ten car garage!

Just if anyone was passing and noticed the thread.

It is an Aston Martin Ulster. Tell-tale fron the front included a painted, rather then polished radiator and complete lask of brightwork (nothing for the sun to glint from when driving at Le mans, you see)

The rear has a lovely shape, too.

The premesis behind is Ecurie bertelli. If you have a look here:

You can see that very car for sale. £150,000 of loveliness

Wow, thank you very much. That is deliciously pretty. I know it's wrong, but I would love to see it trimmed black and not red.
