Default When you spend nearly a Million on a car NEW EPISODES

When you spend nearly a million quid on a car, you would expect it to be perfect, unfortunately with Aston Martin this is never the case.
Here are the first 2 episodes of what turned out to be a major paint correction on this Zagato, I have never had a Ford with these kind of faults, I have to ask the question of how do these cars get signed off at the factory.
I am now going on holiday for a week but, when I return I will post the rest of the daily episodes that Aston asked me to send them.
I hope you enjoy what you see.

No mate, I cannot divulge the owners name, at his request but he was happy for me to post the videos, I might have mentioned his name in one of the videos as they where for him and Aston Martin,
A lot of my clients ask me not to share anything online, my current job cannot be shared until the car has left the building, I will be sure to share it with you all once its gone, although some of it can be seen on my facebook group page but must not be shared from there at this time.

Thanks, A chap I know mentioned that he had bought a couple of Zegato's, one is a 007 special addition and I guessed there cannot be that many of these but clearly there are.

Zagato only make 99 of each model but I believe the number is less for the aston speedster Zagato.

It seems to be that the more expensive the car, the worst the paint is.
