An Aston Martin Is allways an Aston, and the vetilation overture in the side is very sugestive for its origin. I have been reading my source an I think its designer could be Williams Towns but his desig was not adopted for the final car.

You're cleverer than I am then because I would never have known it was an Aston, side vent or no side vent!
Bill Towns it was indeed.
Well done.

I think this side vent is a caracteristic sign of Aston, if you review photos about Aston Martin is present in them and in new cars too. When I see it I tought could be an Aston and the design reminds me the modiffications in sport European (English) cars for beeing exported to USA.
