I like the interior.

But the magic disappears when you start the engine somewhat.

Looks good for what it was. And for that price I would rather a Jag

That would fool 90% of people, good quality although i don't really understand putting all that effort in when you still end up with a toyota.

The DB9 is in fact a replica of sorts!
Ford gave Aston Jaguar's XK8 design and told them to make a car from that.
(Ford owned Aston and Jag at the time)

XK8!   XJS... Ford like to recycle!! And the Aston is a complete pile of sh!t! Lower in quality than even a Lamborghini

That looks like one of the better replicas around but for that kind of money I'd rather buy something better besides when you eventually have to tell your mates it's not actually an Aston.... it's like people who put GTI badges on 1.4's :grin:

That was the DB7 which could trace it roots back to the XJS, DB9 is a very different car with a bonded aluminium chassis, they also use the same chassis in all the current Astons as well.
