Aston Martin Victor review

Four or five million. That’s the rumour. Worth it? Not a question that you can answer rationally. In terms of what it communicates as a piece of design, it’s cheap at that price. This is a one-off car that encapsulates a particular era in Aston Martin’s history. There’s no other version out there, and as far as one-offs go, this has to be one of the most successful ever conceived.

Actual running costs? God knows. Think tens of thousands just to insure for a track day. The fact it’ll probably do 4mpg is literally the last thing you’d ever worry about. Crashing. That would occupy your mind, because then you’d be ruining a pristine one-off, a car that doesn’t just drive well, but captures a moment in time. And that would be bad.
