The Definitive Guide to Gaydon era Aston Martin: The Ultimate Aston Martin Guide [Print Replica] Kindle Edition

I own a 2007 Aston Martin Vantage. I've had the car for three years and am now looking at a newer model. The guide has been an amazing guide in helping me fully understand my current car, and in helping me research other models.If you have one, or thinking about getting one youHave to get this book

I have owned a couple Aston Martins now, pre Gaydon and Gaydon era. I have also bought a bunch of books on Astons. If you are looking for details about Gaydon era models (Vantage, DB9, DBS, Virage, Rapide) that your dealer may not even have, that are balanced (pro and con) and cover absolutely every aspect of the cars down to the options and features of the one for month in a particular year your car was produced, then this is the book for you. I have not been able to put it down since I got it and have read every line in it a few times now. It is not just the best book about these particular Astons, but the best compendium of important details on any car I have come accross and I own a "lot" of car books. It is a must have for any owner of the cars it covers, particularly the Vantage. It is laid out logically, starting with chapters on the engine (for each of the Vantage, DB9, DBS etc), then one on chassis, suspension, interior, etc; then after all that you get chapters on individual models, then on options, special editions, upgrades, even well known after market shops. Then you get detailed buying tips for PPI's etc. No stone is left unturned.

Loved the book. I was really impressed with the great detail on each model. A must read for anyone considering the purchase of a newer Aston. Only small quibble would be that the book should have been slightly larger, maybe just an inch or two. There is so much information packed on each page that the small size makes it a bit difficult to read. I have good eyesight, but still want to reach for a magnifying glass to read some of the information that sometimes appears in boxes with a smaller font. It is also in need of better proof reading. There are quite a few typos, and random commas appearing where they shouldn't, and missing where they should. I've also noticed a few paragraph indents in the middle of a sentence and other various formatting errors. Nothing too distracting, though. I still give it five stars because I don't really care that much about little annoyances because the information in this book is so good and is what is important to an Aston enthusiast. I appreciate the time and effort involved in producing such a book that will most certainly have a small and defined audience. Also, I received my copy very quickly. The estimated delivery date was a range from about a month to six weeks. Mine arrived in my mailbox in eight days, and arrived in perfect condition. Very pleased.

If you're an Aston Martin Owner, or are considering the purchase of a new or pre-owned model, this book is a Must Buy. Simply stated, it's presented in a well thought out format, includes an abundance of useful information and is loaded with high quality photographs of every aspect of the various models.I give this book Five Stars!

Packed with all the information you'd want if you're considering buying a modern Aston Martin. Has history, model year changes, and honest commentary, and nice photos. Not the prettiest layout, but a great reference guide.

As a long time Aston Martin fanatic and owner, I ran across this book while doing research for my next AM. I was not sure it would be worth it, but I thought I’d give it a read.It’s extremely easy to read, very informative, and entertaining. If you are considering your first Aston or already own one. Either way you need this book!

This book will either help you decide to buy or not buy an Aston Martin. There is enough information to give you the answers you are looking for related to all the models and model years. The author seems to be quite honest with out being overly partial to AM, but being a fair review from a AM fan. I have read the complaints about the size of the book being small but it was not that big of a deal with me. However, if the book had a larger format the pictures would be bigger so you could see more detail.

If you are looking to or own an Aston Martin this book is a great summary of models, options, specifications, pros and cons and opinions of others. I bought a Vantage V8 to replace a Ferrari 348 and love it.
