After months of anticipation, shes is finally home in Texas!

My 2026 Vantage S in Concours Blue(One-77 launch color) has officially made the journey from Gaydon, England, to Boston, and finally here. It's been a long road from placing the order in April to taking delivery, but seeing the finished car in person made it all worth it.

A huge thank you to XPEL San Antonio for taking such great care of the car and getting it protected before it hit the road. They did full-body 10-mil PPF, 30% window tint, and a 4-year ceramic coating.

Couldn't be happier with how everything turned out!

Now it's time to put some miles on her and enjoy what Aston Martin built.

For those waiting for an even more expensive and open-air experience in your Valhalla, the anticipated spider is now available to configure and order

I thinks it the best looking Aston Martin of its generation.

Has been a dream car of mine since I was like 11. Feels absolutely unreal to own one

There is a AM announcement coming tomorrow per this short? Looks like SB to me. Anyone know anything?

TLDR: Does anyone have any reliable sites or shops with plain non-F1/Aramco themed AM merch?

Hello All. Just like everyone else here, I have an unhealthy obsession with AM’s. I’m in my twenties and a ways away from hopefully owning one someday so I really want some shirts or hats that just simply have the wings/name on them.

I feel like everywhere I look, all I can find is gear that’s basically F1 or Aramco themed with the logo/wings secondary. I’m also not an F1 fan so I don’t really want those.

The closest AM dealership to me was in Summit NJ which recently closed up shop and I never got a chance to go in and see if they had anything since it was almost two hours away from me.

I tried Etsy a couple years ago and received the most pathetic shirt I’ve ever seen from a seller with good reviews. It looked like someone printed out the logo on computer paper, cut it out, and pressed it onto a t-shirt. Getting my money back was a hassle so I’m not really looking to go back down the Etsy route again.

I’m just looking for nice clean simple (non F1 covered) AM merch and just wanted to see if anyone else has had any luck with any places I could check out.

Thanks in advance.

I have 2 small kids (5 and 3 years old). Looking for an Aston that can seat four. I have been considering a DBS coupe or Volante. Any other alternatives that perhaps are better on maintenance and cause less headache?

I have called at least 5 times ( from the USA). I have emailed via the web page; I have emailed from my personal email account; not one follow-up! I am ready to spend about 10K on performance parts in hopes of making my 2002 DB7 manual coupe into a DB7 GT, and I have mentioned that in every email and voicemail message; nothing.

Is this normal for them, or do they just ignore USA customers? Thanks, Dan in Florida

I used AI to put the same style Bi-Color wheels as my current Silver Alloy Wheels on my 2025 Vantage. The pic with the silver alloy wheels is my current car. The color of the car is Caribbean Blue Pearl 2.

You may not be able to tell, but I have upper and lower carbon fiber and carbon mirrors. I think the bi-color wheels add a more sporty look, but it lacks the pop of the silver alloy which almost look a bit too bright.

The car looks money with the silver alloy, but I love the look of the bi-color wheels even though I despise black wheels.

Please share your thoughts.....

Well, we’ve made some decent progress since my first post. We were able to save all the body panels except for the rear diffuser & passenger door (new door shell is installed on the car and I have the new diffuser waiting on paint for install). While waiting for paint, I went ahead and removed all the undamaged components from the original passenger door for install within the new shell, received a new tail light lense that will replace the original cracked lense, found and purchased the same exact OEM wheels used on eBay that are in perfect condition, and have the new passenger mirror assembly on order from the UK along with the front windshield & passenger door glass. Each day gets closer and closer to having this car complete and I can’t wait for the final result.

I believe this is the exact car that was just auctioned off for $2.3mm
