Problem is, your car used to be worth c£130k but as people get so confused with thinking they are seeing the same car all the time it will devalue it to £13k although to be fair being an Aston that will probably happen anyway!

The 507 was an extra £10k. Apart from the bonnet they don't look that much different and this one has enough on it for my liking. It's a beast. (still running in of course  >:D )
