Aston 1-77 spotted!

[RegisCup]

Working up in Banbury/Brackley yesterday and happend to see one of these! Looked absolutely awesome even though it was still half covered in protective red plastic lol. Doubt ill ever see one again on the road unless im really lucky as i hear quite a few of them have been bought by Sheiks and other foreign millionairs! Must have been out on a test run as it was Quite near Prodrive.
soz the pics rnt amazing, he kept hanging back coz i think he knew i was trying to snap the car!

Im not a fan of the red bits..

It'll of been on a test from Gaydon as it's less than 15 miles away. Living round that area you actually see a fair few Astons, Jaguars and Land Rovers testing under the masking during the day. The villages surrounding it are great for spy shots.

The wrap is just to stop it getting stone chips before it gets to the customer, and I hear google is pretty big now.

Customers Aston's are tested around this track: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tupperware_pilot/2771170631/ Still wrapped but not to the above degree...

Above will just be a car used for testing/abusing by guys in prototype department to iron out potential problems before customers start finding them.

They're lovely, saw one at Le Mans last year ... some pikey tw4t punched the rear quarter in the 'Mad Friday/Chav' area.

To be fair, the driver did run over his foot, but still, you dont punch an Aston.

That's about as un-British as kicking a Bulldog in it's balls.... just not acceptable!

On the road that travels behind Houx/Houx Annexe down to Karting Nord.

Too much interest in beer, not enough interest in the actaul racing ...

More plebs go each year unfortunately
