Speedback GT: anyone know this car?

Hi Lads,

I ran across this new, custom ("bespoke") automobile yesterday. It appears to be a '60's Aston Martin, sleekly recreated using a Jag F Type as it's foundation. The creator? David Brown Automotive. The family that once owned Aston Martin.




Some pages from their website and catalog...

















What do you guys think?










It's going to be built in Coventry, which is the right place; by probably the best people; on a dynamite platform with 510 bhp and 625 lb ft torque from 5.0L V8.

I think it deserves a chance!

...they hadn't aped the DB5 down to the Standard Vanguard taillamps... ...they hadn't then stuck a modern Dodge Charger nose on it... ...they were a little more adept at photoshop for their website... ...they could centre the rear wheels in the arches.......
