The new Rapide was spied again, without any camouflage. Is it the replacement of the current Rapide or is it a new Rapide S model, to be introduced next to the existing Rapide? Time will tell, but my guess still is that this will be a replacement.
A very cool spot just appeared on Autogespot.com. A Cobalt Blue new Vanquish, together with a Tungsten Silver “old” Vanquish. What a pair!
Last Sunday all members of the Dutch Aston Martin club, the Power Beauty Soulmates, were invited to enjoy a High Tea at Kroymans, our local Aston Martin dealership. Here’s a photo impression of this High Tea event (photos taken by yours truly).
To celebrate reaching two millions fans on their Facebook page, Aston Martin released a preview of an upcoming film, called “The Race”.
The first, and only, dutch V12 Zagato has been spotted this week. It’s #77 of 101 and it’s in Storm Black! I already posted about this spot on our Aston Martin News Facebook page, linking to the spot on dutch car spotting AutoGespot.com. But alas, the AutoGespot.com police has already removed the spot, probably because it violated one of their stupid spotting rules. Luckily, the pictures had also been upped to the other dutch car photo site AutoJunk.nl which has no such rules, so I was still able to get at the pics and show them to you.
A Happy New Year to all Aston Martin fans! May the new year bring you many fun drives in beautiful Aston Martins. Of course, 2013 is also the year in which Aston Martin celebrates its 100-year anniversary, with many special events planned. The first of which is the 100th Birthday dinner at the Park Lane Hilton Hotel, London, at which 800 guests will attend, including yours truly. If you’re there too, come say hi. I am the big bald guy in the black tuxedo 🙂
So far, the Aston Martin factory has produced 91 of the 101 V12 Vantage Roadsters. Let’s take a look at the colors the owners have chosen for their V12 powered convertibles:
Just some pics I took when I was in Gaydon in October: A beautiful V12 Zagato in Diavolo Red.
Yesterday, the car-spotting site AutoGespot.com had a scoop: the first non-factory V12 Vantage Roadster was spotted in Knokke, Belgium. Guess who? 🙂
Aston Martin has just announced that InvestIndustrial has purchased 37.5% of Aston Martin from Investment Dar.
