    Is that a Fiat Spyder in #'s 2 & 5? The gray one...

    Never mind... It's not. It had me really puzzled though...

    God I love those Silk Cut Jags. Best looking prototype of the 80s.

    70s = Porsche 917K
    80s = Jaguar XJR9 (XJR8-12, really)
    90s = Peugeot 905
    00s = Audi R10

    @layabout returns: the power bulge is too wide- no way that's a 7, though it does look like the correct headlights, and there's a faint kidney grille there. Not a Jensen either though- Jensen didn't have a power bulge in the hood.

    @layabout returns: Sorry man, but '68 Aston DBS Vantage it is. Here's the list of the Concours entrants, and I believe you'll notice the car sitting around our "mystery car" in the pic are indeed the same ones on this list (in the "Aston Martin: Birth of the DB Series section"): http://www.salonprivelondon.com/concours/2009entrants.asp

    @DrewComments2.0: I think its a DBS, like in the pic above. It's the lower fog lights and off-colored amber lights that give it away. Plus, it's doubt-able that a 7-series would be parked at a concurs.

    And I have proof. Take a look at the link below. They're having a "Birth of the DB series." It's a DBS Vantage, vintage 1968.

    @layabout returns: I've zoomed in, and I think you're seeing what you want to see. Old 7s had bodywork that straddled the kidneys and chrome around the entire front end, this does not. It's definitely a DBS. If you do an image search, you'll even notice that the grill on a '68 caused a moire effect which is making you see the kidneys.

    My local DMV might differ on the definition of 'Street legal'. They'd probably have a collective aneurysm. Which would also work, now that you mention it.


    I would, however, have to move way out into the country, to a house with a heated garage, and at the maximum possible commuting distance. We would need to have a serious discussion about its cup holder count before I sign.
