But if you want something that’s rare, stupidly powerful and representative all that’s marvelous about British engineering, then kindly pay attention to what I have to tell you next. Aston Martin’s heritage arm is currently selling a 1996 Vantage V600. It costs £335,000 (approximately $447,000). Not only is it a lovely shade of dark blue, but its previous owner also had it, uh, personalized a bit more. Per the listing spotted by Jeff Glucker: Unlike any other V600, the previous keeper commissioned Aston Martin Works to upgrade the instrumentation to monitor many more mechanical and ambient parameters. This also includes a superb replacement Supercharger boost gauge from a WW2 Spitfire. Right-o! Although, if I’m being honest, the Spitfire gauge is probably more visible beneath direct sunlight, unlike the original Aston gauge. … [Read more...] about Live Your Best Life With This $450,000 Aston Martin Vantage V600 With A WWII Spitfire Boost Gauge

Time to recall the TEN BEST cars ever made by Mercedes and AMG. 1971 300 SEL 6.8 AMG “Red Giant” Let’s start with the aforementioned “Red Giant” itself.

The winning car was developed by the then virtually unknown AMG, founded in 1967 by Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard … [Read more...] about TOP 10: Ten best cars ever made by Mercedes AMG
