Editorial

The guys at Gaydon have really pulled a rabbit out of the hat this time – the V8 Vantage Roadster is another knockout design from Aston Martin and will head most people’s Christmas lists (although you may have to make that Christmas 2007 or 2008…).

Based on one of our favourite cars, the open version is just as good looking with the (fabric note, no folding metal) roof up, and even more desirable top-down. Well done Aston.

And well done the bold bidder who’s bought the late Mr S. McQueen’s shades, for a not unsubstantial $70,200 at last weekend’s Bonhams & Butterfields’ Californian auction. Not the sort to sit on by mistake I would say.

Until next week,
