This little beauty is a remarkable car. The original is a one off created for an Aston customer and exists. Piranha's kit is a superb creation and as built by JF Alberca here exactly captures the original. Finding the original Aston Martin colour Peony Red was a bit of a headache but Aston Martin works were kind enough to give me the original recipe.... enjoy.

Really cool study! Even if it is not a "real" classic, its a great car. Unfortunately, not many kits will be made and I am not sure how succesful it is anyway. The pics on the MVM homepage are also quite interesting as they show the model with Bosica wheels (the wheels included in the kit are not the best imho).

That is a real gem you have there, David - I would cheerfully add that to my collection.

As Trossi points out... painted Bosica wheels would have been better and more accurate.... but still a little beauty.
