Have You Seen Any Interesting Cars On The Road Lately?

[MadMerx]

I honestly don’t know what to make of this...

A bonfire?

160D?

It had A45 badges on it, I think it was but the pipes were to big for when it was on tick over, might have sounded OK on full chat.

You've taken me down memory lane, I used to drive one in the early 70's,my dad had a humber sceptre (same body shell) a friend had a sunbeam rapier.

1958 Aston Martin DB2

Not knowing much about these, I’ve just looked it up and at the moment there’s one on sale for £220k and another (in the above ‘Peony Red’) for £265k!!

About 2 years ago I was driving into Norwich on the A146 and coming out of Norwich was one of these absolutely stunning machines, a Fisker Karma, same colour as this

I'd never heard of a DB2 before. The guy has owned it 20 years and had it resprayed back to it's original colour from green.

Wow, it will have surely appreciated a great deal in that time!

I'm sure a red C204 c63 black edition has just driven past my house!

Cough. Strictly an Aston Martin DB2/4 MkII. They've recently sold at auction for just shy of $400k - that's actual, not asking - but in 2021 you'll be able to pick one up for less than that.

Used to be capable of a ton in 1958, but you might struggle to achieve that these days.

Looks great but like the Bond's DB5 (at twice that price), you really wouldn't want to drive one. Clumsy, heavy, running hot, unreliable, not something you'd trust to do a couple of hundred miles.

But awfully pretty - "most desirable of cars."

They’re lovely, but I’d choose a contemporary Alvis, which sell for 90% less.

Aye, likewise for that era I’d have to put my hands on an XK150 and a lovely pair of Bristols.
