Looks like you've got a fair few parts to buy from that photo! What actually is it? 250/275/330?

:lol:

Bet you needed oxygen Nick when you saw the price of a secondhand radiator grille...hehe.

Chris, yes still got Aston, after the painstaking resto I don't think I'll ever sell it.

The Ferrari is just a new addition to the collection, nothing gone, don't panic. ;)

Jez, I'll leave it up to you to guess the exact model, but just say it's UBER rare as they only made 43 of these :shock:
