There is a big question mark over "New" Vantage getting v12 power...
DB11 has both v8 and v12 now, and AP wants to keep all cars defined, ie sports / gt / super / hyper.
The new 700 bhp+ DBS breaks cover later this year (price with a decent spec circe £275K) and of course Valkeryie (known as Nebula orginally) is due but sold out...
With the addition of DBx soon (SUV)...
Its a busy schedule in AM world
I'm looking forward to how the new Vantage evolves and the future options more than a V12. I think more than many I like the DB10. I'm not really crazy about the cosmetic changes on the Vantage.
Does the DB10 have a handbrake?
I can't seem to find it in its interior. I know the handbrake on the DBS is next to your feet like old Italian exotics but I can't find it on the DB10.
The DB10 was based on the old Vantage which had the handbrake on the floor next to the door sill. It would be out of shot in that photograph but I imagine it is there.

thanks for the contact.
Might be worth a bet if they go public as planned, and now they are profitable and with a strong lineup.
Ive been lucky enough to talk directly with AP, his vision is very exciting for the brand, even if the current direction doesnt excite... Designs are fwd thinking and growers in my eyes
This makes me curious as to what would be your expectations for The next Bond 25 AM???
Could it be the upcoming DBS ??
I also heard some rumors that AM is delaying the introduction of the new vanquish breed til next year to time with the release of Bond 25 and that it would be his car for the movie.

Valkyrie hypercar and DBX crossover / SUV, still to come are the Lagondas x 2
Hope its not as good as the rumors Ive heard otherwise my kids might be homeless, well if you dont count living in the +2 rear seats )

Ouch indeed.
The first Vantage reviews seem good and maybe a manual soon.
Dont wait for your ship to come in. Swim out and meet the bloody thing.
...they’re still using that rather “odd” looking B unfortunately though, that’s disappointing.
You'd think someone on the executive staff would sit down with the designers and say.. ok folks.. this has gotta go.. its been pointed out too many times now and we can't keep using this design..
Yeah I know, but my link from Aston to official pics was jamming.
Launch drive report to follow. Will Park mine next to it before set off for a heart to heart
Definitely a Qofs theme to my 50th presents
Greene Party TF suit from Mrs R
Plaques
And now some artwork from my best buddy with loads of personal details, 68 dob family initials etc
Can you spot them???
A somewhat belated 50th present, combining my 2 passions of Bond and bikes.... Valentino and DC
I accidentally got to see the new DBS in London at Dover Street and then the second one of the four in Houston at the weekend. If anyone likes that kind of thing.

Parked in the disabled spot, naughty naughty. More on topic though—hubba hubba!
Yeah they get away with murder at coffee and cars events. It was parked next to 5 or 6 Ford GTs past and present. They sometimes have 1500 cars of every type that take over. Great event.
I was surprised to see it there but the Houston dealer had gotten his hands on it as the first one in the country. He had orders for 5 already. 180 to be made in the first year. Circa $350k when specked up.
The grey one would make a good Bond car. Or as the manager put it, the DB11 is for Bruce Wayne, the DBS is for Batman. I could see his point looking at the flat grey.

I went the route of a personalized license plate. In NC, BMT-216A was taken, and the DMV rules would not allow BMT-216 (needed another letter or number). So I went with the 'S' in honor of the Vantage S!
I am curious who has BMT-216A in NC. If anyone knows, PM me!
Nice personalised replacement sill plaques for my 50th birthday.
My Uncle sourced them and after a few designs settled on this for my Quantum Silver DBS
.....
New ones with a nod to Qofs
If anyone wants some doing for their Aston (you can send ideas and graphics to him and he just sends you proofs for you to choose from) he does them at about a fifth of what AM charge, and ships internationally...
Pm me for his contact details...
I’m interested in the sills for my DBS. But the pics aren’t showing up any longer.

Paul's uncle did personalized sill plates for me and they were outstanding! I drew a concept of what I wanted and he got it perfect with the first draft drawing.
Figured this thread was as good as any for this...
While out driving today I found myself behind the (obviously) only person in my state of 5.5 million people who has BMT216A. I was bowled over. I mean what are the chances...

Better photo.
I may need a new oculist.
Can’t wait till June! Very keen to see what it’s going to look like!

Around £270K for a top spec rules me out unless a lotto win appears (but dont buy tickets so thats even more unlikely
Like it but reminds me of a Viper done by Lexus? Thoughts...?
