Yes, it is just you. Having been lucky enough to see one up-close (with Peter Dumbreck behind the wheel) at Silverstone, it is absolutely stunning. Not in the timelessly elegant way of a VW Golf, obviously, but if that's what floats your boat...

Naffness

Yes.

It is just you.

Aston Martin Vulcans do not look 'naff'

Citytiger 9 June 2016
