Re: DB6 Update
RG, I wanted a gunmetal paint, but the only Aston colour which was similar was Cumberland Grey, so I went for that one.
Engine had a lot of work done, the block could be saved even though the corrosion on the aluminium was substantial. New pistons fitted, valves, etc. Converted it for unleaded. Carbs are also new, only one of the 3 webbers was correct, and even then, it had the wrong bits inside.
As for aston not beeing the same as it was, I agree. But I think they are doing a good job in keeping the marque alive. I'd rather have them producing a lot of cars like Ferrari, making a racing team, beeing on the cover of car magazines and not become like Bristol, which IMHO will not survive many years...
