One of my favourite Bertone concepts of those years! Fabulous, extremely tempting model!

Dated and futuristic, one of the great 70's concepts and a great model.

While certainly bold design at the time, as a result of all the futuristic movies, etc. it doesn't look quite as radical as it did back then. Still interesting all these years later though and it looks to be a very nice model. I like that color version too!

That looks like it was made for a 1970s SF movie. Love it, very dated and weird. Very dated indeed, like the SF movies... but that's always the case. Visions of the future say more about when they are made instead of about the future. 50 year old vision Mine’s on order - can’t wait 😛 It looks even better in hand... One of my favourite Bertone concepts of those years! Fabulous, extremely tempting model! Tempting indeed. I was not planning to order it, but am glad I was tempted enough... Dated and futuristic, one of the great 70's concepts and a great model. Totally agree! Did you order one too? While certainly bold design at the time, as a result of all the futuristic movies, etc. it doesn't look quite as radical as it did back then. Still interesting all these years later though and it looks to be a very nice model. I like that color version too! It is always hard to know what the impact of something was when it was introduced, many years on. Knowing about the impact for me starts during the 80s, the rest is history.

Since it is 'start all over' here, I will post some pictures from the old forum. Not all at the same time of course. Let's start with some Aston Martins. Just because the first of my flickr entries is an Aston picture.

I love Astons (though I'd make an exception for the Bulldog) so these are very OK with me.

Awesome! Lots of great models and some really nice photos! Loved the Centennials and the DBs! I never cared for the Bulldog but, as a model, it looks really good! Keep them coming!

In answer to your question no, I haven't ordered the Navajo - yet. This is because I have the old Alezan silver version. I'm planning on getting the grey version like yours to compliment it. Love the Astons and have all the same ones as you except the Virage Lagonda and, of course, just the one GLM Lagonda!

I love Astons (though I'd make an exception for the Bulldog) so these are very OK with me. Did you see the Bulldog got completely restored to original and got a reward at Villa d'Este last weekend? I love it... Awesome! Lots of great models and some really nice photos! Loved the Centennials and the DBs! I never cared for the Bulldog but, as a model, it looks really good! Keep them coming! Thanks! In answer to your question no, I haven't ordered the Navajo - yet. This is because I have the old Alezan silver version. I'm planning on getting the grey version like yours to compliment it.

I've got lots of Astons, much more than shown here. And some of them I sold, so can't take some of these pictures anymore. Trying to focus on 70s/80s/90s... With a lot of exceptions of course!
Lagondas are super impressive. Thanks, one of my favourite cars... Lagondas are excellent but there isn’t a bad one there Thanks, most Aston models are really good.

I can understand not wanting to sell that, total lunacy and a rare and nice model too.
