All that film school education paying off at last

It sounds like this car has quite a story. The random little damage and niggles makes me wonder if it’s been part of a “hire a supercar” companies (not sure if Car Vertical picks that up as “Use as a taxi”) and it’s been a little bit abused by folk renting it. We’ve all been there when a car gets under the skin and grabs hold of the heart strings. The “oh my god, this car is MINE” moment are truly special.

The wrap is definitely quite odd. As Jay points out, the mileage is quite low - but I wonder if it's been used as a track day hire car for a bit - might explain the failed diff and transmission - and they often don't do huge mileage like a straight up hire road car does.

Loved it James, from the cracking shirt to the opening music. Your ability to bring a story to life in an entertaining way is why I remained fixated to the screen for the full length. The car looks great and I suspect would be amazing with a detail - I think a KZreadr called Jim White who is based in Lincoln could enable an excellent collaboration opportunity? I have no affinity with Jim but he is legendary in the detailing world for what he can do. Cheers, Kevin

What a gorgeous machine. When they first came out I thought it looked like a DB9 with a bodykit yet it seems to have aged very gracefully indeed. The lovely thing about your channel is whether it turns out to be a bargain or a bit of a wallet challenger we will lap up the content with a smile and a sense of gratitude that the story of ownership of these fine vehicles is no longer behind a secretive paywall that many of us would struggle to get behind. Have fun good sir!

Those original film shots with the low sun were wonderful, deserved of any praises

Loved listening to your explanation of how you came to purchase the DBS and the worries and frustrations, Great choice, I hope all goes well with the Inspection, looking forward to the next video. Good Luck .

I'd say keep the DBS, turn it into a restoration project much like the Celica. Or if you want to do improvements, team up with Richard and Bamford Rose, and you'll have a good V12 stablemate for the 550. Not that the F12 was bad, but there's something about DBS that makes it so special. Dunno if it's the ties with Casino Royale or whatever. Also if you restore this DBS please remove the black detailings and turn it back to the elegant silver, like those window surrounds and side strakes.

Now when you consider you stood next to your newly acquired DBS for the most part, that really does speak volumes about your level of journalistic talent, it had me pinned right to the end. Fantastic actually, up there with your best and you didn’t even move 😂😂😂. Fabulous.

The best kind of mad. Great to see the answer to the Aston question ended in a DBS! Superb, hope the inspection goes well 👍

WoW Bro...live the intro! Great show!

So good! Loving the Aston content and looking forward to the next video with this DBS!

That opening scene was epic. So well shot!

That intro was beautiful and a brilliant idea for letting us guess detail by detail without the engine noise giving it away. I remember meeting you at the Morgan tour experience you collaborated with a couple of years ago and we spoke about having to get your content editing time down to keep the weekly output up. So I can appreciate the extra time spent B rolling the detail shots and the slicker intro! Congrats, great car too!

This was such a great Intro!!! Simply amazing. I had goosebumbs tbh

Great stuff, James! Thanks for the great content

I always enjoy your camera work James. That intro was exceptional, well done.

Great video Jay, love the story telling and congrats on owning a legend!

And it MUST be 'True Love'! because I just don't understand why he feels the DB9 has 'aged poorly', while this VERY SIMILAR looking DBS is somehow still a 'masterpiece'? So the only explanation is that, for some reason, he has some purely emotional infatuation with the DBS. So it must be love. :)

Love the outside shot from the bridge. Got to see more for them if possible on top-speed runs, It fully displays the speed. I've seen them in older videos, but I'm asking for more. Please:)

I’m glad you’ve fallen in love with it and especially the looks (I can completely relate James), these are the most beautiful and elegant cars on the road and even as an Aston owner myself, our VH car keeps surprising me (in a lovely way). Sometimes I forget that I’ve taken the Aston out and not the daily and I see this absolutely gorgeous car in the car park and I’m immediately like ‘oh WOW! Isn’t that stunning’, and then I actually realise that it’s our car 🥰 it’s such a wonderful feeling. Enjoy ownership, these are fabulous cars in every way possible.

Jay, fair play. You deserve it. Congratulations.

2 points, James. 1) What a superb car. I really, really hope it works out well for you. I will enjoy your journey with it. 2) Selling your cars to viewers once you've finished with them is an excellent idea. You've developed a "trusted brand", and buying from you is far, far less risky than buying from most used car dealers.

Looking forward to the up and coming AM content it’ll be interesting to see where and how it goes 🤞it won’t cost you too much!

Congrats ! And you are far from mad. You picked the best modern Aston there is. The DBS is my favorite car ever. Looking forward to the content on this DBS as I’ve always wondered if I should have gotten a TT instead of a manual.

Great choice James. I love the DBS.

Woah! A bold purchase, a very 'rollercoastery' story with it, but maybe... just maybe, the risk paid off? Who knows. Best of luck with it, sounds and looks gorgeous 😃

No! You are NOT mad. 😵‍💫 You are doing for yourself, and giving us an exciting and meaningfull journey. A journey to save/ discover history/ understand and enjoy what is a great machine. Thank you 😊

Great video James, this is a perfect example of doing what you want, no influence or pressure. Bought it because you want it with the added satisfaction of probably saving it from continued gash improvements! Looking forward to see how it goes. Good luck with this one. Think I’d seek out the correct wheels and de-wrap any bits that haven’t already been done. It will look like a different car with a bit of work to bring the paint back. Although black cars never stay clean for very long 😅

My favourite part of this video is where at 10:10, Jay says “If he’d told me the sky was blue, I’d take it with a pinch of salt” at the exact same time he changes the colour of the sky from blue to pink for a brief moment, lol.

Got to say that opening sequence with the Music to the sound of the Glorious V12 coming out of the Sunset, really had me!! Especially as i had my headphones and it was Glorious 😊 Looking forward to seeing how good this car actually is, maybe some nice modifications and maybe leaving that fuse out of that exhaust flap, for fabulous sounds.

Thank you for your videos there great, I just bought a DBS on a 2009, 3 days ago and I completely love it , it's a beautiful car , but this video did scare me, in regards to the differential etc i thought I did my research and one thing that came up about the DBS was it had a great gear box and diff, please keep us posted on how you get on , wishing you all the best for your new car

Wow Jay, this video was so well produced, I've never heard of a soundtrack like that used for car review videos.

Hi James, loved the vid as always I do :-) - I used to be an ARDS instructor and have taught in many cars over the years - a couple of special stand out cars for me and the DBS is right up there - spookily I followed one home earlier today before then spotting and watching you in yours ?! - all crossed it comes back from the inspection with no nasties :-) Paul ps - still got and love my Honda S2000 Mugen GT

right choice? wow! most certainly is and I look forward to hearing many, many more stories on how life is with the Aston. Stunning and a very engaging tale too.....excellent

beautifully produced video and a fantastic car hope that you restore it to its full glory

Perfect music choice. Cannot believe how similar my taste is, including cars. I just miss the Ric Flair shirt! Wooo! This is one of the best car videos you’ve done, I guess it’s the story. Just a suggestion from a guy who has no idea about KZread success but it might be worth checking out more vehicles that have a story, taking a risk, making it an adventure. It’s definitely entertaining.

Nice touch on 'The sky is blue'.😁

Nice choice. Looking forward to the story unfolding. At some stage i`ll pull the trigger on another nice car but meantime, i`ll live vicariously through your exploits.

Great car and a great video, please keep it if all is well, the noise and looks alone are worth it!

Your view on buying old hero cars is reassuring, a list of ‘imperfections’ is all part of the fun

I'm always interested in your music choices , that was quite a selection for the car! Bet that system sounds great too.

cheers for sharing Jayemm, definitely got a dream car there at a working mans price- if its mechanically good- i think i could live with a few of the rough spots too- like you say- if you can see it- its noot so concerning! hopefully that rough start on the day you drove it away was just because it was stored and probably last driven when you test drove it! I see what you mean with thee Db9 and aging- personally, I didn't like the wwheels that were on that. but I think different wheels and light visual mods like the clear rears of the DBS and possibly getting a DBS bonnet replacement on the DB9 would bring it up to scratch! looking forward to the upcoming videos on this

The DBS is truely a beautiful thing! At 16:45 the pannel gaps of the door and the bonnet don´t look quite right, but this might be because of the camera angle. Congrats, though! Great sounding piece of kit, too!

Great video- I really enjoy your transparency on these journeys- I know that always leads to petty comments from you tube losers - but I find it really helpful- top marks here

What you do is a lot harder than it looks. You've turned into a very skilled broadcaster. Well done. Nice car too

That's lovely. Great storytelling too - fingers crossed it all turns out ok!

Great buy, I'm very pleased with your choice. It wasn't a good week for me, the clutch in the up! went suddenly on Monday and I found a garage 2 min. away that did it in a single day during my working hours and the MX-5 is still in the body shop to do all wings and sills all at once...
