Mystery car update

Friday 8th February 2019



I posted on 28th January about this car I spotted on a recent section of my walk with BC following OS Grid line 38. I couldn't get closer to identify.

Commenters responded with various suggestions with a consensus of TVR. I emailed TVR with the photo - here is their response:

Dear Mr Robinson, 

Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding the vehicle spotted whilst on one of your walks recently.  It is not a TVR but looks to be an Aston Martin Vantage of some description although looks to be in a rather sorry state but fortunately not a TVR though.

Kind regards

TVR Heritage

I have now noticed that with enlargement the word "Vantage" is written above and behind the front wheel arch.


I have emailed Aston Martin and await their identification - hopefully their response will follow.

  1. We should have known. I always used to drive around in an Aston Martin.

  2. Alan R - Looks like you were correct - see next post.

    BC - It's not surprising that we couldn't identify since it has shortcomings compared with the real thing.
