ASTON SMARTIN'

 

This year I've seen a couple of Century 21 Toys Aston Martins like the lovely one pictured on an auction.

I remember about fifteen years ago how excited I was bidding on a boxed one on Ebay sat on a coach going to Bavaria. I was really smartin' waiting for the auction to end, my Missus had her early 'smart' phone so that's how I bid. It cost me exactly £100, which was an absolute fortune for a toy I thought. Still I was very chuffed.

Since those heady days at the back of the coach I've seen a few red versions of this toy, which his how its pictured on its box. I must get a picture or two of one.

Have you an Aston Martin?

Has anyone out there ever driven one?

    Love the Aston Martin, have since 007. Never drove one, but I drove my mother's Jaguar. Thing was an atomic rocket!

      Would've been an 80s XJS, in California. Not the E-Type I've wanted ever since I raced a friend's slot-car version! Sadly, that's as close as I'll ever get to my dream car.

    Never driven a DB5 but my mother ( now 90] has a DB7 . I have to occasionally take her out in it as she doesn’t drive anymore. It’s a 6 litre V12. The last time she drove it was when she took it down the strip at Santa Pod (the local drag strip) for her 84th birthday! Will O.
