Default Return of the Valiant
with a twist

https://www.astonmartin.com/en-us/models/valiant

5.2L V12, continuing the trend of supercars developing new internal combustion vehicles.

And you thought it was a Chrysler... still, it's a cut above...

I am sure you can have one made for when you order in whatever colour you wish including Plum Crazy.

The stage between iron ore and rust. But I used to be Valiant man until the stopped making them. The last one I had was a 1980 CM. Made great engines.

Witty replies folks, the next question is would you rather the Valiant or the other new huge front engined V12, the Ferrari 12 Cilindri?

I recently saw a bloke pull up to the surf with a mini mal in a small convertible fwiw. Top was down to get there, board was passenger, suit up & wax board, then fold over the roof to close off the car from us public surf car park dwellers.
