I was at an out of town industrial estate recently and came across a workshop where they had a number of old classics being restored. This included an Aston with Swiss plates in reasonable condition but obviously needing some work - rust on wings for example. I was showing an interest and the guy said that it was a DB6 Volante but only 60 of that particular model had been made. Told me guy had paid £650k for it
Now I find that hard to believe but the chap was quite serious and not taking the proverbial as far as I could tell.

I LOVE that old petrol pump.
I remember filling my old Ford Escort MkI for less than £5 from one of those. Well, watching while the forecourt attendant filled it, there were no self-service in those days.
6/8d a GALLON! (That's 34p to you youngsters!)

Old vehicles are fascinating. This belongs to a friend of mine. He only uses it for the odd family wedding. It's gorgeous
