In this issue we update our readers on latest stock offerings and the current state of the market, as we approach the forthcoming motoring season, share our thoughts on Aston Martin’s return to Le Mans this year, provide some insight into what we have been listening too this month and link to our recently published and well received V8 Vantage (1977-1989) model guide.
Since late summer 2024 and over the last months, we are pleased to confirm we have been highly active in what was a hesitant market, completing a number of significant sales. High value cars sold, included a brace of DB4GT’s and three DB5’s, at figures between over £2m and £0.6m. Well prepared and good specification 1980’s V8’s also continued to sell well and Gaydon era cars from the noughties and teens, with low mileage and interesting specifications, remain as popular as ever. In summary, we benefitted from a healthy second half to 2024, seemingly continuing into 2025, despite the down beat slant from our daily newspapers.
Always unpredictable during deep winter, our Service and Aftercare department has also proved extremely busy, with off season maintenance and refurbishment projects, trimming works and mechanical rebuilds taking place, before the motoring season kicks-off this Spring.
Events this year, we are holding or participating in, include our successful Ten – Two Club open days at Essendonbury Farm, the London Concours and the Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court, both the Le Mans 24 hr and Le Mans Classic races and, of course, the Goodwood events, all feature in our calendar. We also look forward to attending Supercar Driver Club’s ‘Secret Meet’ for the first time.
We hope you enjoy this quick digest and look forward to hearing from you if we can be of any assistance!
Best wishes
Nick Mee
As always, we are pleased to offer a broad range of Aston Martin greats, from the 1950’s to the present day. Every car listed for sale on our website is supported with detailed descriptions, a comprehensive photo gallery and many with a presentation video as well, allowing you an effective browsing session from your sofa or Ipad. Although, there is nothing quite like a welcoming visit to our showrooms, for a viewing and demonstration, allowing you a full appreciate our top-quality cars.
As ever, if in our car sales listing, we don’t have the car you are looking for, do feel free to contact us, as we may just know where your desired car lives or indeed, have one ‘up our sleeve’ to offer.
We're avid Podcast listeners here and nowadays we are spoilt with a range of excellent motoring podcasts. The Intercooler, The Car Podcast with Chris Harris & Friends and Autocar’s ‘My Week in Cars’ all deserving a mention.
Two podcasts that we have enjoyed recently and should be of great interest to our followers and Aston Martin enthusiasts; Firstly, the Aston Martin Heritage Trust’s Podcasts interview with David Richards CBE, Chairman of Prodrive, formerly the Chairman of Aston Martin Lagonda, lifelong Aston Martin fan and owner and the second, The Intercooler’s recent interview with Darren Turner, Aston Martin Racing driver for 20 years.
In the former, we learn all about David’s memorable career, the creation of Aston Martin Racing in 2004, his tenure as Chairman of Aston Martin, the Aston’s he’s owned and details of what he has just bought!
In the latter, Andrew Frankel and Dan Prosser interview Aston Martin Racing stalwart and all-around good guy, Darren Turner who shares the details of his career to date, the best cars he has raced, highlights of 20 years with Aston Martin Racing and most recently, his testing and development work with the Valkyrie!
Well worth a listen!

TO CONTEST LE MANS 24HRS 2025
One of things we are most excited about for 2025 is seeing the Valkyrie race (for outright victory) in the Hypercar class at the Le Mans 24 Hours. The normally aspirated, Cosworth developed 6.5 litre V12 engine, revving to 11,000 rpm, is going to make a sound to behold!
Britain’s first supercar… a poster car for a generation of schoolboys… an iconic Aston Martin for the ages… Buying, owning and driving, here’s everything you need to know about the magnificent, original V8 Vantage.
Catch up with our recently published V8 Vantage model guide, written by Peter Tomalin, formerly Managing Editor of Vantage Magazine and long-term contributor to Evo.
Peter gets behind the wheel of the actual car he drove when testing the model for Super Classics 30 years ago. If anything, it’s got even better.
