this is in wikipedia On 13 May 2011, it was reported that a New Zealand businessman, Neil Graham, the co-founder of Mainfreight, paid NZ$2.8 million. It is the only One-77 in Australasia.

Believe it or not I saw this on Trig road (by Whenuapai) on tuesday at 1240. Very nice looking car. The license plate was one77. The 'car' guy at work didn't believe me until fridays herald.

The pro detailer who prepped it for sale did a little write up here
Why oh why to carmakers ruin their top models with LED tail lights crossing the body! It can't be that all people with money are that crass!
EDIT: I just looked at the detailer's photos and got arc eye from the interior. Perhaps well monied people are that crass.
Fair enough. They (and you) can have what they like.

Some people have far too much money.
If they need to get rid of some, I'll be happy to assist.

Just reading in todays O.D.T. motoring section about the popularity of L.E.D. lights.They're apparently trickling down into more ordinary models due to their popularity.I don't know why.I'd have thought it was another fad but apparently not.Never mind it'll be another twenty years before a car with those is in my price range so I don't need to own any yet.

LED's make some cars, (indeed all such cars), look like cheap blinged tarts recently escaped from a Romanian brothel.
Car makers are mad for installing them.

I reckon LED are far better than old vaccum bulbs. Well, unless they're aftermarkets on some shitty old civic or Rx7 etc.
They're safer for a start.

LED's are the future of any & all lighting.

I thought Aston had just added flared guards, scoops and spoilers and fats to a DB9 and were asking $2.8m for it!Give me a V12 Vantage and save $2.45m.

Those V12 engines sound sweet ay fans.

Aluminium frame with carbon fibre body plus different everything else! I'd be very happy with a DB9 though! I notice the importer gave it a thorough "test" (thrash) up and down the motorway before handing over!

Wouldn't be much of a thrash at 100kph.Not keen on the percentage of red interior either.Pertsonally I would have gone for a grey and black black maybe with just a bit of red piping.Customer chose the interior.
Mind you, I wouldn't have gone for black exterior either.
Still prefer a DB4GT Zagato.

Vanquish S is still my favourite. 'Spesh in that lucid Jet black they were using a couple of years ago.
You can keep your Zagato's. All that guy ever did was ruin cars.

Although looks are subjective, I reckon the Vanquish is easily the best looking car of the last 10-20 years. Pure beauty. I occasionally come across the odd deluded rice boy who thinks the best cars come out of Asia. Just looking at this Aston reassures me how wrong they are.

leds are great, visible and stand up to the poor state of our secondary. well, and main, roads. stand out like dogs balls on a budgie at night, and last sooooo much longer. why wouldn't you!

They are going into new homes now, not just tread lights and feature lights. Very expensive still though.
