My buddy and I were out browsing the dealership lots when I guy pulled up in this Aston Martin. I don't know a whole lot about it so maybe someone w/ more car knowledge can chime in.

The owner said:
1) There were only 25 made
2) The first one was made for the Prince of Wales
3) This model has been used in some Bond films

Anyways, just wanted to share, I thought it was cool.

 

I think that the convert might be rare. The guy that does our website at work has a coupe..

 

Oh yeah, that'll someday sell for alot on Barrett Jackson.

 

I understand that it's rare.. but i prefer the newer Auston Martins...

 

Very nice. But the guy has to do a better job at maintaining its visual appeal.

 

Its a nice car, but why auto? I thought all brit cars were manual

 

It's a Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante Series II. Nice cars they are. A Vantage Volante was featured in the movie "The Living Daylights". Not exactly the Aston I'd have, but there it is.

1995 V8 Vantage. The pinnacle of Aston Martin's beer guzzling manliness. As much as I love the DB9 Sport and the DB7GT, they're a bit posh. And the Vanquish.....well, I've never had much love for either the Vanquish or the new V8 Vantage. They're not going to make the DBS, so there you have it.









Allow me to step out of my wet dream now and say: Nice pics.

 

I do not think they are rare. iirc

 

ouch on teh spellings

 

Nice I also like the old school Astons

 

+1 rare
