Yes I'd forgotten all about those being produced it's all gone very quiet. 5 have been made and delivered to their owners apparently That was from a press release this October can't help thinking the front looks very like the new Mini  the side profile and rear looks fantastic though Thanks for the update. I'm with you on the front - not a good look but the rest is really stylish to my eyes.

I hope we get a background story (TV) on the DB4 like we did on the continuation Lightweight E types - it was fascinating seeing the production unit and workers. A bit like this but slower... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9Dmn7NIYq8

It's a fantastically simple business model for them, isn't it? They probably make as much profit from the short run of continuations than the main factory, and they can't lose by creating a want with limited supply..! And you've already got a superstar V8 Joe T..!! Mog mag says so  I already have two superstar V8s (although I've not seen the MogMag comment you refer to), but I dont have a V12, yet...

 Here's a picture that Works put on Twitter tonight. I'm in it.  I think the picture I was taking at the time is in my earlier post.

Oh dear. I could have bought the original Zagato version for £450 in 1968 admittedly thrashed and trashed at the time.
Also a bit of a stretch at 19 so bought a Series 2 for £250.
Thet were not popular at the time and only 20 were built. The one I looked at had a cracked cylinder head and they were prone to seizing up probably due to poor cooling, so had a bad reputation.
It was a case of looks over practicality.
However it would have been good to hide the Aston in a barn and rediscover it when I had the money to sort it out. Todays 7 figure value would buy a lot of renovation.

I'm sure that anyone who has the cash to buy one and wants to drive it on the road can get it through Individual Vehicle Approval.
