Beautiful Aston Martin keep it going peace

[@loucostabile]

Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-)

[@tdvandy2]

Fantastic! The engineering that went into that spare tire compartment is amazing. That is an idea that would work so well in todays world of SUV's.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Todd V, High praise :-) I agree, the spar tire would work well in todays cars, Lou

[@JeffKing310]

Stunning Aston Martin. Beautifully well done. Thanks Lou! You’re quite right about the “caretaker”. Great turn of phrase for the person preserving this piece of automotive history for future generations.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Jeff, Really a treat to share this one, as I would see it and no Care Taker :-( So when I was informed from the Geneva IL Concourse that it was planning to be there, however the show was cancelled, I was glad when Peter agreed to video the car. Good things come to those who wait :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you, Lou

[@John_Schulz]

Almost Speechless---This Aston-Martin is Stunningly Pretty and Just Downright Gorgeous !!! Incredible styling, as well as the pristine blue color treatment; having much attention to unique detail and features. A true work of art throughout. Thank You Kindly, Good Sirs !!!

[@loucostabile]

Hi John, "Almost Speechless" Well said :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you, and you're welcome, Lou

Second time viewing this video… It was better the second time today… I got to see it again… What a car. The sound of it is a delight. The color… Gorgeous and the style is a perfect 10.

[@loucostabile]

Hi John, High praise :-) Happy to read you're enjoying the videos, Lou

[@RustyCar]

What an excellent example of British automotive history. While I’m not a big fan of British cars, I do fancy these...mainly because I am a James Bond fan. And what a great name for her, “Miss Moneypenny”! Thanks Lou for a great showing!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Rusty, Happy to read you enjoy this early Bond car :-) You're welcome, Lou

[@TheGunfighter45acp]

Fantastic! Truly an iconic car with the perfect name, and the perfect street to review it on, too. So glad Peter found and saved this Aston so we could enjoy it today. Thanks, Lou!

Excellent Lou! I learn so much about so many cars by watching your channel. Thank you very much!

[@loucostabile]

HI SEA HAWKER, I'm happy you're enjoying the learning, as I'm learning from the Care Takers all the time, and I find that to be so much fun :-) Glad you enjoy this one with me, Lou

[@bruceh92]

Georgeous Aston - sexy lines, everything tasteful and well proportioned - is this the best looking Aston ever? Congrats to "caretaker" who actually drives it. I would be afraid to. Nicely done Lou and thanks.

Excellent Lou...glad you finally got to 'hold the hand' of this car after all this time. This Aston has more character than the modern Aston's and Peter is a very privileged current custodian.

Lou, great feature tonight ! I don't usually like too many foreign cars, but this one I like !! Always reminds me of James Bond also ! It's the times I grew up in - 007 was BIG back then. ! This one of the first matchbox cars I ever bought. ! Great car & owner, and love the color, too.! Thumbs up as always !

Thank you my Friend. Hugs from USA.

[@tippey2011]

Wow Lou took me right back to the Roger Moore days of James Bond. This unit is a year older than I am. The minute I saw this unit I thought boy that is the James Bond car! I love the color of this unit and the chrome is so beautiful and on the exhaust it was really neat. I had a great time on the ride along too. So many neat things this car has that surprise you. The fold flat floor was awesome neat for a trip for luggage and so forth. The way that spare tire comes down is really neat! I loved that engine sound and that straight six I bet was a smooth idle and run. The owner was so neat too and the love he has for this unit is awesome. It came from my home state here Ohio! Thanks for sharing this neat car Lou!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Steve, Happy to read this car brings back James Bond memories :-) Glad to read you enjoy the ride along, and my pleasure to share this one with you. You're welcome, Lou

[@josephconsoli4128]

Yes, the color is indeed beautiful. This is my imagine of the quintessential sports car. This DB2 is simply perfection in and out. The reason these cars did not have all the little toys is because the buyers, unlike today, were true sports car enthusiasts. They wanted lightness, quality, and power and not much more. One thing I always loved with these early sports cars are those almost 1920's looking flat steering wheels up close to the dash. The biggest problem with driving one of these must be deciding when to head back home!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Joseph, "This is my imagine of the quintessential sports car" High praise, Lou

[@oldtown6240]

It seems that you might have shorted us on the pics before restoration. Beautiful car. Spare tire location - interesting to say the least.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Old Town, I made sure I gave you a good look at the end result :-) Lou

[@patrickcortazzo6251]

This car is just WOW! Besides it's striking beauty and looks , i was literally saying out loud "WOW" at all the little things and hidden features From the beginning to the end of the video. Great job getting this car on the channel Lou! Couldn't think of a better person to own and be the caretaker of this little gem. Does he have a KZbin channel or book on the restoration? Would really like to read and or see the complete story. Thx :)

[@loucostabile]

H Patrick, "This car is just WOW!" Well said. Not aware of a "restoration" video, and there is probably a book, however I'm happy to share with you the end result :-) Lou

[@chuckhaugan4970]

I love when Lou brings something other than US cars! And this is clearly a six figure car! Very nice. Thanks Lou! BTW, being of this vintage, when you asked for the owner to step on the brake to see the tail lights, in my head, I was betting only one would work, if any. But, being restored, I'm sure the entire electrical system was refit.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Chuck, I like to keep the Viewers guessing what might be next :-) This one seems to be showroom new, just the way I like it as it takes you right back to that time period. My pleasure sharing with you, and you're welcome, Lou

What an amazing car the attention to every detail, like a rolls royce sports car, can definitely see why bond used them

[@loucostabile]

Hi David, "like a rolls royce sports car" I like that :-) Lou

[@larryborkstrom3580]

Love it glad he finished it a sports car from,the days of automotive art as at same time Hollywood made movies worth watching

[@loucostabile]

Hi Larry, Happy ending to this episode :-) Lou

[@steelassault262]

I always liked the Jimmy Bond movies. That was a neat car. Why did he not mount machine guns somewhere?

[@loucostabile]

HI Steel Assault, I was looking for that trigger on the instrumentation panel :-) Lou

[@dimik3855]

Thank you Lou for your review and thank you Peter for showing us your MkIII. You guys just about covered everything about this car. I guess it's a good thing that James Bond used a DB5 because I have a hard time picturing a MkIII with rolling license plates, machine guns, oil slick and tack dispenser and a bullet proof shield at the back window area. In the Goldfinger book, does Ian Fleming mention any gadgets on the MkIII?

[@loucostabile]

Hi Dimi K, Happy to read you enjoy this review. I did not read the book, so I don't know. However I can say, the gadgets on the car sure make it exciting to see what the car can do to bad guys :-) Lou

[@ricogallardo6876]

From a ‘78 Volare to this… try not to shock us, Lou !

Hi Rico, I enjoy keeping the Viewers guessing :-) Thank you for noticing, Lou

[@jonnietruth4083]

Lou, I asked myself one question… Which car is the best car from your website that is my favorite… It is definitely this car… Followed very closely by the blue Plymouth super bird or whatever that one was… Rd., Runner… That car was amazing. It is so unusual. My friend had that car. It was rocket fast. But this car here… It is a work of art. Personally I would rather own the Plymouth yet this is… Beautiful
