Aston copying the Jag idea?

[malcolm]

Just heard that Aston Martin are going to produce 25 "previously unmade" DB4 GTs, at 1.5 million a piece - all sold already! Jumping on the bandwagon eh?; but I wouldn't mind one!

Jaguar copied Aston - the continuation DB4 Zagato's were produced in the 1980's!

When will Ferrari make the remaining 250 GTO's? They were supposed to make 100 but only thirty something got built

Not sure Nick Mason would agree with you on that idea !

I have grave misgivings about this " continuation" business . I think that it has damaged Jaguar's reputation, with a bunch of very expensive but effectively useless cars in the shape of the "lightweights" having been put together, and it leaves a kind of smear hanging over the genuine cars. Not satisfied with that, the trick is now being repeated with XKSS. Never the most desirable cars in the first place , so why make more of them ? It all smacks of a triumph of greed over judgement , and sooner or later one of the manufacturers who are up to these tricks is going to catch a major cold over it

Regarding the perception of the LWE.
Check out the RAC top 10 most significant classic cars of all time. Number 2 suggests a wider held different perspective!

£6M for the Bob Jane car seems reasonable in the grand scheme of things
