"cheap" aston

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

12 months storage at £100 per week would cover that. It's a shame that something so exclusive has been left to rot away showing either the owner has too much or not enough money depending on your viewpoint.

What that needs is a nice big V8 from an American truck. Diesel of course, IMHO. 8-)
There must be a scrapped Chevy Caprice somewhere that has a working engine of the heavy oil variety?

It made £43k for those that are interested. Almost 10x more than I have ever spent on a car

My those maths the DB7 with a blown head gasket must be worth £100,000 ;)
