Ooh-Err,Vicar!

This beauty is?
An Aston-Martin DB9.

Aston-Martin lives in a factory in Newport-Pagnell and is now owned by Ford.
When David Brown owned it in the fifties and sixties, they started giving their cars the 'DB' initials.
David Brown(Limited) used to manufacture agricultural tractors originally.
There are still a few examples lying around. I'll try and get a photo of one.

It's interesting that Lamborghini was also originally a tractor builder.

As you can see from the photo, they still haven't found a way of getting the owner to turn off the lights when he leaves.
