Beautiful motor Tel, I won a ride in a Volante a few years back when Aston Martin had their open day it was wicked.
Cheers
Colin

Cool

One highlight of my weekend was seeing one of these bad boys;



Pictures don't do these things justice. They're massive, and they sound awesome. Am assuming there weren't too many of these built..?

Tel

I have also seen one, but it was a while ago. We were going to Corcheval (sp) for the Millenium and one was in front of us on Le Shuttle. It was owed by a young Architect and he and his mate were on their way to Monaco. We had said we would drive down together but I needed fuel straight after the tunnel and he missed the petrol station entrance, so that was that.

By Dijon, it was snowing heavily and the motorway signs were showing that great French symbol for an accident, a car on its side. When we got to the accident, the Aston wasn't on its side, but it didn't have a straight panel on it. It had been bouncing off the armco for well over a 100m. I guess 6" of packed snow, 335 rear tyres and 600 bhp don't mix well.

I didn't stop, as I thought they would be gutted enough without seeing someone that they knew, albeit only briefly.

So it looks like you have seen 1 in 39. From memory these cars were about £240k when new.
