    Nice cars too, although the driving footage was a bit boring and I knocked it off after three minutes.

    The mk2 db6 is the best Aston for me, they fixed all the problems that dogged the 5 and it was just plain better

    Of those 2 the ferrari is the one I’d pick though, it’s just so pretty, massively underrated machine

    I had to drive the DB6 with a bit of respect, so no heroics there....

    Yes, it was a promo for Moss, I was working for Hexagon Classics and used the DB6 to partner the Ferrari. It was a fun but bloody hot couple of days.

    Oops sorry, no offence intended! I now understand why it was fairly tame.

    No problem, the DB6 is available for £650 grand, so that's why I was a bit cautious. Given that the video was shot within the Northern part of the M25, there were a few close shaves !!!

    I think you might be in luck, the Aston has been reduced to £450 grand, should I have a word ????

    After I bought this at auction I was asked to take it for a good long drive to make sure it all worked. All in a day's work...

    This may divide opinion but the Daytona is my favourite Ferrari, design is fantastic,who doesn’t love pop up headlights but the noise from that v12

    That is fascinating .. I’m guessing other than primo work and your other post that you source and test cars for people, well played what a cracking thing to be doing!

    There will be a lot of envious car nuts on here

    I know someone who has had a DB5 and a DB6 and his take on them - beautiful to look at, horrible to drive. Terrible steering, poor brakes, soft suspension and quite slow (even when compared with many other sports cars of that era). A bit of a barge - a lovely looking barge, but a barge all the same. Swapped the DB6 for a 2.7 Porsche.

    Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.

    The 34mm 6694 Oysterdate Precision was a bit pedestrian to be in such illustrious automotive company! I think a classic 6239 pumper-pusher Daytona would have been more appropriate...

    Enjoyed the film though! :-)

    I must admit that it wasn't until the end credits that I realised what Moss did. Love the cars and that fork truck device for moving them in storage - I never knew they existed.
