I had a bit of a go against a DB7 a couple of months back. It was on the A31 Alton by-pass on the way to Winchester. He was two up and tried to take me leaving each of the three roundabouts. Needless to say he did not manage it and was still behind me when we turned off at Winchester. A good looking car but.......
they (Aston's), like MG have a great history and pedigree

If I was in the market for a car like that, it'd have to be a Maserati Grantourismo, Mmmmm

Sad thing is I really don't now what I would go for - not that I am ever likely to find myself having to make such a decision

What makes this car £3K more expensive than any other 260?
Well thats's a good question. The price reflects the car's condition, very low mileage and extras.
And, I suppose, the fact that I am not desperate to sell it, even though I have got my eyes on another car.
The Sat Nav cost £2.5k and if a purchaser didn't want it, I would be prepared to negotiate returning it to the standard stereo and reducing the price accordingly. Saving me the bother of buying it all again and/or learning a new system.
All in all, I think it is worth it and considering what else you can get for that sort of money that is in almost as new condition and only just about run in, I think someone will get a great car and a bargain.
