Didn't get a pic but had one of these following me the other day. Honestly can't remember the last time I saw a 200 BRM.

Bloke just pulled into sainsburys in one of these, exactly as the pic. Didnt get a photo as I was driving out.

never heard of them before but looking at the specs they must be hilarious fun on track.

100%, my brother in law has had one a few years and been out in it a number of times, it's a riot!

Saw this the other day. Think it was manual too, though only got a quick glance inside. Reminded me how fugly recent Astons have become...

They're lovely. The 2012-18 Vanquish was also stunning. All of the recent ones are a bit of a mess to my eyes. That said, most stuff is the same now. Pretty much every manufacturer is producing worse looking cars than it was 10-15 years ago.

I will have another, one day.

 

[Short Norman]

I will have another, one day.

I loved mine but definitely don’t want another

There was always a new small issue with it every week (and I think it was only eight years old when I had it).

I’d have another 205 but not a 5

Nice old Jaaaaaag parked up outside a dodgy pizza shop this morning.

Always my dream car when i learn't to drive, could never afford one, thought a few times about scratching the itch, but i think i would be terribly disappointed once the novelty wore after, still love them though.

 

[TC.]

Never fancied these but this must be some new model, kind of like an Insignia at the rear but lovely looking all the same.

 

[TC.]

And then very much not new but a clean d turbo is getting stupid money over here.

They are great little cars, but not for the money a good one commands these days. But there's always a chance...

i am sure they are, but i just get the feeling i was be disappointed, specially compared to what's about today, one of them not meet your hero moments.

Maybe, you'd definitely have to have a go in a good one as a cheap one riddled with issues certainly will ruin the experience.

These are one of the few new cars that actually interest me. Cool things.

Shame they don't sell them new anymore, used ones are holding value like gold bars!
