Ooh, nice find! |

A matter of taste. For me it's an incredible ugly car, without any proportions. For lightyears worse than the classic Aston Martin design. And the design of other brands, too. |

It's not attractive, but it is somewhat distinctive. For me the most attractive one was the Series one: /vehicle_347709-Aston-Martin-Lagonda-1975.html (though the grill is somewhat unattractive). William Towns who designed this also made the Hustler kit car: http://www.aronline.co.uk/blogs/2011/09/25/hustler/ |

Oh, I'm sure many would probably find it ugly (in fact using the "love" smiley was probably a bit over the top), but I find the space-age design to be quite striking and unique. I would seek one out if I was rich. |

I prefer rather: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AWS_Shopper No kidding, when I looked for my first own car, I really have thought about it. |

That's how first-generation four-door Mustang should like. |

Is that neccessary to be rich (for the purchasing, I mean. The running costs are indeed bearable only for rich people)? Isn't that the most low-priced Aston Martin, because the conaisseurs prefer the nicer designed models? |

You'd probably have to spend quite a lot to get a decent one. You probably wouldn't want to buy a cheap one, they had lots of faults. It's a specialist car. -- Last edit: 2012-08-03 22:18:25 |

£50,000 for a Series IV: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2807892.htm (£35,000+ seems to be the minimum). The cheap Aston is the DB7: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/4071766.htm . Even the 90s Virage (widely considered to be one of their weakest cars) fetches strong money: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3998621.htm and later ones fetch ridiculous money: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3896003.htm . |

@ Antp: Here the 80s Maseratis remain fairly cheap: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3619615.htm and for IMO the nicer 90s development of the BiTurbo: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3946214.htm |

£35K minimum. Yes, I think you would have to be quite well off to be able to spend that kind of money on a car you wouldn't use every day. And I like the earlier models more than the later ones which softened the design, but the early models are probably the most trouble due to the overambitious LED technology. I saw an old one in the auction tend at Goodwood Revival one year for about £8000 and it looked pretty tatty (paint was flaking off). -- Last edit: 2012-08-03 22:30:55 |

I like that one, I find that it looks even better in this two-tone color |
