I read today, in the times motor supplement, that Aston Martin is re-badging Toyota iq's as the cygnet and charging 30k for the privilege (cosmetic only).
I am sure this is not news to those with their finger more on the pulse than me, but it explains to me why there are two rows of white coloured Toyota minis parked within the Aston complex.
I was completely flummoxed the last few times I visited, and now it is all clear!  Gerry

Aston Martin have been 'told' (must comply) to lower their carbon footprint thingy (European limits and laws and all that) so they have done a deal with Toyota to re-badge a truck load of the ickle cars to offset their monsterous carbon bits. Somehow that makes it all alright  Currently running FFRR MY10 TDV8 3.6L and a Disco 3 XS Commercial (tank like but very effective as a Company van). Plus one mint condition Track Day Car in the form of an E36 M3 3.2L Evolution circa June 1996 with lots of go faster bits and only 52k miles on the clock! Oh, plus a few bits to make it slow down really quickly as well! Luvverly.
