In addition to Harold Radford, another independent coachbuilder also offered a shooting brake conversion for the DB6. FLM (Panelcraft) Ltd were based in the Kings Cross area of London and were experienced at converting saloons to both estate and convertible spec. The car illustrated here was commissioned by  the racing driver, Innes Ireland as his daily driver and as of November 2013, was on sale by Aston Martin Works. It is finished in its original, extremely attractive colour scheme of Pearl Grey Metallic, complemented beautifully by the sumptuous deep Red Connolly Hide interior with matching Wilton carpets.

The original DB7 GT was a sadly stillborn project from 1995 designed by Prodrive. Loads of new photos of both examples of the DB7 i6 GT added this morning.

The section covering the Works Service special coachbuilt cars of the 1990’s has been total revamped with many more previously unseen images. These cars, many still hidden from public view are the very pinnacle of Aston Martin as a bespoke car manufacturer.  

Its taken me a while but my video of the 2013 Bonhams Aston Martin Auction has now been uploaded to YouTube. Quite a selection of featured cars including the 2010 Aston Martin LMP1, the 2012 Vantage GTE and the famous Bertone Jet
