Aston Martin make some of the most beautiful GT's around, the convertibles are drop-dead, or should that be drop-head gorgeous. Bentley and R.R can't touch them, and neither can any of the modern Italians either IMO.

The convertibles go nice with linen, the hard tops, Lesser's Golden Bale.

I do fear for their future though without an automotive sugar-daddy.

ok in full disclosure: i am currently scratching my head whether to get an AM Vantage V8 (the current one, unfortunately not the 1980ies one) or a Bentley continental GT

^ I'd totally believe that story.

The Bentley GT3R is a pretty sweet bucket of bolts. Partially because it doesn't look very Bentley like. The platforms are all solid, I just don't really like they coach work on most of them.

I already have a car for very long journey, so a rough-ish sports car would be a good addition. Where I live, Contis do not have the typical footballer image.

First word problems, I know.

Vantage!!!!!

I haven't considered the automobile/fashion connection previously. I would say the most attractive designs have yet to come. Given 3D printing, we'll likely see additional boutique entrants into the market soon since it takes less parts to 3D print a car than traditional manufacturing.

Aston Martin...

Which one did you get? A fellow down the road has a V12 Vantage S in a darker silver, it makes a wonderful noise.

I still regret not buying a DB5/6 a couple of years ago. At the time my father and I looked at various cars but weren't really willing to take the plunge. We even test drove a blue and a silver one, prices back then were around the 50k€ mark. Looking back that was one of the worst decisons we ever made. Though probably not worse than my parents neighbour who gave away his 993 Turbo S for peanuts.
