Problem is you lads cant remember the great Astons.
This a 1956 road car capable of winning at Lemans or wherever you wanted it to race.
Its forsale but may cost a bit.

nice rod ,but cant help feeling it would look a lot better if you took off those gash wire wheels and put on a set of comps

Driven them all.

DBS easily for me. (Chav rear lights though!)

Vanquish S was a big old bruiser and sounded awesome when you downshifted and it blipped the throttle... but overall the DBS is FAR FAR FAR better.

Lots of people like the new V12 Vantage. I don't... but can see why the do! and it has great reviews in the press.

I'd love a DBS droptop.... or a One-77!

i do valeting and clean alot of aston martins and for me the interior is let down by the ford indicator and light storks, you have a crystal start button leather trimmed door shuts and a couple of lumps of plastic.

i know they need to be made of something but i think a bit better quality would look better.

DBS for me. Vantage don't cut it. DB9 if I was an old man. Vanquish S I think is a lovely car. DB7 GT I also have a soft spot for.
