Some men see things as they are and say why - I dream things that never were and say why not.
I'd like a DB7 as well, but older one with the small fog-lights.
Not letting go of the 260 though..
More saving to do.................

Lovely looking car and sounds like it's been treated with great care. Unfortunately a little beyond my budget, but good luck with the sale. A DB7 would be a fitting replacement!
Word of warning. I came to the ZT V8 after excluding the DB7 a car that I think is the most fantastic 2+2 in the world. They are not the most reliable and I was told to buy a jaguar XK instead by a DB7 owner. Tried a jag then found the car of my dreams.
Just noticed this was my 260 post I own a 260 and its VIN is 260. I may never post again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be careful bud.

Thanks Steve,
I am also considering an XKR/XK8. I would prefer a DB7 if I can find a nice one.
I am nervous about selling the 260. I'm the only person ever to have driven it and it is very special to me. I know I will regret it, but owning an Aston is something I've always wanted.
Have both. I love my XK8, so different from the ZT-T, though we have fallen out slightly after it cost me £2.5k last month in repairs and servicing. Wouldn't mind a DB7 either/too. Or an SV, or a DB9, or ........, etc (could probably substitute 'or' for 'and' )
Took a DB9 round a wet curcuit a few months ago - was fine but that bloody flappy paddle gearbox was utter crap - pull the paddle and wait - bit hairaising when it changes gear half way through a corner
