    Nah, we don't know what to do with them or how they work BUT we do know whom to sell them too :D
    We don't need sat navs because we already know the way to the dole office and the council tip B-)

    Is that wheels gone Aston in post 4 the real deal or a body shell? If real, that's horrible. Not that crime is ever nice.

    Speaking as someone who doesn't drive but loves beautiful cars, what is the deal with these kit / fibreglass facsimiles? I can understand for film production (DAD and SF spring to mind) but in everyday terms are they safe to drive? Not to mention the position of the blue light brigade? :s
    This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

    Old news I'm afraid, Ed. I was actually interested until it was pointed out in another thread that an actual Vanquish is all of about USD$ 65K.

    Well, it was NEW news to me so I thought to share it with others that also hadn't seen it.

    By the way, my friend spoke with the owner of the company and they are ALL sold. Quite a few went to Japanese collectors.

    They are now starting work on the Goldfinger DB5 with all the working gadgets ... but will only be offered to the same buyers of the Vanquish.

    I would have sworn you had participated in the Replica DB5 thread.

    Regardless, that their site references AM as a NEW Ford brand would indicate they're long out of production. It's doubtful they sold as many as they estimated; would be interesting to know if any made it into the US.

    Still wondering how they got away with it. And doubly curious about a DB5 as AM have apparently been especially ruthless about design infringement when it comes to those.

    The vehicle in front of the unfortunate Aston ,has a index starting with LA
    this is from London (the Wimbledon area ) office ,so probably not taken
    in Liverpool ,but you never know ? :)
    By the way, did I tell you, I was "Mad"?

    Nah, the pic was taken in London and it is a real crime scene shot I'm afraid. Apparently there was a spate of high quality car rims getting nicked, and the DBS was one if the unfortunate victims :#
