My favorite AC model equipped with my favorite engine* that AC equipped...and my first time seeing the two together. The overwhelming majority of Greyhounds I've seen have been fitted with the Ford Zephyr motor and I've seen a handful with the AC six, but until now none have had that fantastic BMW-derived Bristol.
*Well, nearly. The listing says it's the 2.2, which means it's got the hum-drum low compression 110 rated at 105bhp, down from the earlier Bristol [100D2] 2.0. There was a hotter 110S, but the only road cars fitted with it were Bristol's own 406S variants (standard and Zagato).
Funny enough, the listing also says the motor is OHC but it's not. The dual rockers (not cam covers like those on, say, a big Jag six) are utilized because of the motor's wide valve angle hemi configuration that I detailed in an earlier post.

Funny, I've never been a fan of the Mugen CR-X body kit. Didn't used to care for the third-gens, either, but somehow these last couple years the look really grew on me. Mainly the front end, it just looks really aggressive in darker colors. I just wish I had the land space for all the cheap old Honda projects I want to pick up. An '88-'91 CR-X or Civic hatch would definitely be in there.

Wheels are on the wrong side for those NACA ducts to work. Cool idea, though, assuming the air building up in the wheel wells is evacuated as efficiently.
Looked like an incredible show all around.

The DB7 Zagato is also quite beautiful. They simply don't make 'em like this anymore.

The only problem I had with the Zagato is it's big, guppy mouth.

You could re-release this car today and people would think it was brand new.The DB7 Zagato is also quite beautiful. They simply don't make 'em like this anymore.

I much prefer the looks of the original, non Vantage, non V12 DB7, with the smaller fog lights and the aero wheels.
The big fogs on the V12 cars kinda ruined the front end for me, and everything just got worse with the GT model. DB9 looks good in darker colors but is entirely dependant of wheel choice.
The only modern Aston that comes close design wise, to me at least, is the outgoing Vantage of particularly in V12S guise.

I don't know if it's the perspective but that one looks like it has a 20ft wheelbase.
Tan top is also a big no-no.

I think I'm broadly in agreement with you, but the later cars probably don't bother me as much and I still easily prefer them, aesthetically, to the DB9.I much prefer the looks of the original, non Vantage, non V12 DB7, with the smaller fog lights and the aero wheels.

In no trim is the car a pure performer, so I think I'd make concessions for pleasure in the form of a later (but still pre-V12) Volante. But then the allure of the later AML Racing Green is quite strong, so perhaps a respray would be in order.
