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.
