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:

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)

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.
