Went to the Pistonheads Sunday Service at the Aston Martin Factory at Gaydon today it was a fantastic morning we even got to see the factory from a viewing gallery. In the foyer was one of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen, it’s a concept but I just hope they make it

Here are a few pics. What do you guys think

That's a prototype Vanquish Vision concept - there was an article on it in April's Car magazine. It's Aston's F488/McLaren rival - reportedly £200,000 and 200 mph! Looks fantastic. :thumbsup:

I did the PH SS there a few years ago - some great cars buy pretty limited access. Mind you the car park is usually pretty impressive too!

I know what you mean - the Classic meet I went to today had a DB6 and a 70s V8. Much more my sort of thing!

I know what you mean, but the mundane statement was said very tongue in cheek. The blue DBS V8 from the eighties is my all time favourite :thumbsup:

Putting a registration number on it will really ruin the look. That is enough for me not to put a deposit on one :wink:

Strange that Astons are traditionally 'green', but in all those photos I think the blue ones look much prettier.

...also, Zagato do some beatiful bodies, but they also have a habit of producing the odd dog turd.

Does this mean you can in fact, polish a turd. :lol:
