Ah, an Aston, everything seems OK after you look at one of these, a beautiful, svelte, British brute of a car, and this one with the V8, is up there with the best of them, this model, dates back 11 years, from 2005, the year MG-Rover, the UK's biggest British owned motor manufacturer went bust with the loss of 6,000 direct jobs and up to 25,000 indirect jobs.
At the time Ford still owned Aston within the PAG (Première Automotive Group), along with Volvo, Jaguar, Land Rover and Lincoln, Ford still owns Lincoln, the rest were sold off.
The model here however, is the Aston Martin V8 Vantage, and is the 2005 First Editions model, meaning this is the launch car, a car that would in various colours and sets remain in the HW range for years to come, the generic card art is not pretty, and this would not last like this for long, until they decided to have art on the cards of the model within the blister.

This is a great little casting, not spoiled with garish graphics or flames, which is something HWs are famous for, and the PR5 wheels look spot on for the model too.
