Meet Paul Spires. You"d like Paul. He"s the boss of Aston Martin Works. Works is the Newport Pagnell-based classic arm of the company. They"ll complete a certified restoration of your barn-find classic DB4 or Lagonda for, ooh, 425,000. Or perhaps you"d like something a little more controversial. Fancy converting one of the other 37 DB6 MkII Volantes on the planet to battery power? Come back in 2020. Bring 200,000. Sacrilege, surely? If you think so, and I"ll be honest, I sort of did at first, then it"s not really aimed at you. "Soon there"ll be a whole generation of Aston Martin fans who"ve never even driven a car with an internal combustion engine," explains Paul. Cheers mate, don"t I feel the dinosaur now.
