David Brown Speedback: A modern DB5

[Aesthetics]

I almost like the previous wheels better than those ones..

Those new wheels are infinitely better than those stupid wire wheels. Looks much better with them. Would still have a vanilla DB9 over it.

Wheels are an improvement, but the car is still a dogs dinner.

I don't get modern takes on classic cars. The only one I like is the Singer 911. For the price they are asking it is probably cheaper to buy a real DB5. Which is probably better in every way than this DB Speedback.

Even then, the Singer only works because the 911's they're based on, 993's and 964's, still used the original 911 shell. The Eagle E-types are the same.

This is nearer in concept to those horrid C4/C5 Corvettes dressed up with C1 noses.

A C5 with a C1 nose?

Actually, it doesn't look as bas as I expected. Licence plate holder cuts into the grille a bit but apart from that it ain't too bad.

It looks rather well done I think. Although the more I look at it the less I like it...
