Double-barrelled beauty.

• 

Buying a brand new Aston Martin - like wearing tweed knickerbockers - was never for everyone. It helped when your name was double-barrelled, like your bespoke sporting guns. In fact most customers visiting the Aston works in Tickford Street knew their partridges from their pheasants. And Aston Martin knew this, too. So it seemed not more than logical to use this proposition as a marketing tool. The DB6 brochure says it all. There is a car in gorgeous Goodwood Green (22 layers according to the same brochure). It is parked in a forest rather than on a street scene. And then there’s the model. Not in sixties mini skirt fashion - oh no, that what all the other manufacturers did back in the day. Not this girl. She is wearing a classic outdoors vest, hunting boots and deerstalker cap. The gun, you guessed it, is double-barrelled too. It doesn't get much better for gentleman farmers. Well except for this one maybe. Up for the shoot! (Jeroen Booij)
