Is it a ‘bond’ of Astons?
Maybe a ‘kill’ of Astons, with owners having a licence to kill?
Whatever it is, the Aston Owners Club of Victoria assembled in the northern Victorian border town of Mildura last weekend and a friend of ours, Ian B, was able to snap some photos of this multi-million dollar collection.
What I really enjoyed seeing in this collection was the number of 1970’s Aston V8’s. I had a friend at high school whose father had one of these. For me, strange as it is, these 1970s cars always said “Aston Martin” to me even more than the earlier Astons that made the brand famous. That’s changed, of course, but I’m still quite fond of what you might call the most British of muscle cars.
My thanks to Ian for sending in the photos. It must have been quite a symphony when these cars fired up.
