What would you like Chris to build you?

I think Aston put a stop to that build. The builder had to change the tailights and it became a one off. Plus the donors are quite scarce. Mk6 Toyota celica convertible or something like that.

what's spare time, & where do you put the shopping lol

Need a sensible four seater? How about this 1947 Paris Salon concept from Franay.



And if Chris leaves the B***ley badges off I'm sure Crewe will be fine with it...

That's fantastic, and looks as if it's floating

I thought i would see if the car is still there...

A few changes then...

I checked and Frank Dale is still trading as an independent RR & Bentley specialist.

No! Stop them burying the car!!

Good spot btw.

Erm how bout the headlight area of a Alfa Romeo Montreal on a lancia stratos . engine at the front with the open grill between the headlights . bit like the Ferrari 308 GT without the pop up lights possibly using the headlights off a Alfa 159

That way it keeps the wedge shape but fixed lights at the front.

I spotted this car/design airbrushed (nearly lifesize) on the wall of a warehouse in Spain a few years ago. I just hade to take a photo of it when I saw it.

Its a sort of mix between a Cobra, Zagato & Austin Healey.




I think it looks pretty cool.

Don't know how to take photos off other sites but Ant Anstead makes some pretty neat cars saw this one down at Goodwood a few years back. Some nice styling touches

Yes very nice cars
The Aston grille is being replaced by a more generic shaped opening
I don't know whether Newport Pagnell have had words

I have just got back from the cinema after watching the latest Bond movie which has some stunning cars to drool over. Not just the old DB5 and the DB10 but a car that I could not identify at the time which google tells me is a Jaguar C-X75 concept car that sadly will never be put into production.

I wonder what it would cost to build something that looks similar to this, maybe using a MR2 mk2?
27 Oct 2015, 10:01pm
Ooooh I like it I want two
27 Oct 2015, 10:31pm
I saw one at Williams (they did the development). It is absolutely stunning and perfect from every angle. Baffling why they have no plans for it.

How bout a Maserati a6g zagato rear with an a6g grand sport front.

Just spotted the possibility of this . DB10 on a SLK 350 base. Not sure if Chris would be happy to copy a "concept car" or not !

That looks like a good donor choice windscreen looks very close
Dump the 1000kg convertible roof and the performance and economy will be even better

Or make the DB10 Roadster an option ?

How about a DB10 style using a Jaguar XK as a base?
