The Aston Martin Rapide has been on its way for what seems like forever. But finally, it’s almost here. The plan is to have the Rapide at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September and have the car on sale in early 2010. So it’s no real surprise, with the Aston Martin Rapide actually getting to […]
Salon Prive 2009 – a Good ‘Do’
If ever I took my Dad out to an event and he enjoyed himself, he always said the same thing – “That was a good do. Thanks”. And so it is with Salon Prive – a ‘Good Do’, thanks. And it really is. Yes, the price of entry is a somewhat eye-watering £125-200 (depending on […]
Aston Martin Cygnet Concept – an ‘Urban’ Aston Martin
The last Aston Martin concept we saw was the big Lagonda SUV Concept at Geneva in March. It wasn’t received with unmitigated delight, but Aston Martin said it was just that – a concept – to get views and opinion on the future direction of the Lagonda marque. But now we have a concept from […]
Aston Martin One-77 UK Debut Salon Privé
Aston Martin brought us the first sight of the Aston Martin One-77 at Geneva in February, but that wasn’t the finished car and only lasted a day on the stand before it was replaced by the Lagonda Concept. Aston were eager to get the car back to the UK to finish preparing it fully for […]
Aston Martin One-77 – in the flesh
It’s true, we did get to see what looked like a complete Aston Martin One-77 at the Geneva Motor Show. Sadly, it didn’t stay around long. It needed to get back to the UK to get a real interior – amongst other things – presumably back to where we saw it prior to Geneva, when […]
Aston Martin One-77 to show at Villa D’Este this week
From rumours that the Aston Martin One-77 had been canned, to confirmation that the first Aston Martin One-77 would be in the flesh at Geneva, the One-77 has created a few stories in the last couple of months. But now Aston Martin have the completed car ready, and are planning on showing it this weekend […]
Aston Martin Rapide – first official image
Aston Martin has released the first official image of the Aston Martin Rapide, a 4 door super-saloon which will début at Frankfurt in September.
Lagonda Concept – not an SUV now!
Aston Martin did take some stick when it showed its Lagonda Concept at Geneva last month. I have to confess that we were amongst the vocal majority who just didn’t see what they were trying to achieve. Why would Aston Martin even consider a huge SUV as an appropriate way to revive the Lagonda Marque? […]

New Lagonda Concept on the way
It wasn’t exactly unreserved praise and delight that greeted the launch of the Lagonda Concept at the Geneva Motor Show. At best it was surprise, at worst incredulity that Aston Martin could show something so far removed from everything that Lagonda traditionally represents. But it would seem that David Richards, boss of ProDrive and Aston […]
