It's made entirely of old McLaren F1 parts....... ok no, that's a lie. It looks like a gym, with a very nice spa and hotel attached.

The eagle eyed amongst you will notice it has no AM badge or decals. The steering wheel also had a cautionary hand written note about bedding in the brakes.

Unfortunately I was in Barcelona when they had a McLaren event on, the two cars used on TopGear were there.

Not a huge fan of that Aston to be honest, it looks like a V8 Vantage has fallen on top of another car.

I suspect it looks better in person...

It also looks great in other colours!

I do get the distinction in that the Aston is I guess a supercar but the way this forum descends on anything with black wheels, a big spoiler or any other "stick on tat" I'm surprised more people haven't said exactly that.

And I kind of agree.. personally I think that sort of thing belongs on a hot hatch not an Aston Martin... but that's just my opinion, I'm sure the owner loves it!

Shock as personal taste is subjective.

I think the GT12 and GT8 are great looking cars. The aero is a lot better than we're used to seeing on these forums.

Lol yep.. you post a hot hatch with a spoiler and black wheels though... you'd be forgiven for thinking it wasn't.

Janesy B · 22 Jun 2016 at 14:45

It had canards for goodness sake, even the Aston didn't have that.

ha ha I wasn't meaning that, even I thought that was ridiculous... but again, it's just my opinion, there's an all black one of those near me with the spoiler and I think it looks fantastic.

Just in general basically!

Couldn't quite believe my eyes earlier in the usual M6 crawl, a petrol, yes! petrol powered f10 5 series!!!!

Saw a dark blue 535i with cream leather a few months back, both driver and passengers were ancient, as you'd expect.
